Since NSI has a ?new? boss, who feels strongly about squatters, now there is an emphasis on resolving these issues.
Since the prior emphasis was on keeping cost's down, there was not any reason to arbitrate who got what. If there is a reason to give a domain to one group or another, it will be because it will generate money for NSI.
Didn't know there _was_ a GNU/BSD. As far as I know FreeBSD only runs Linux executibles under emulation. Unlike Linux, BSD is> intended to be Unix. (remember Linux is a complete rewrite and is not intended to be Unix - only unix-like) (BSD-Unix has been Unix before SCO bought 'Unix' from ATT) V4.3 was much stronger than SysV Just for clarity, FreeBSD can't build executibles that run under Linux. FreeBSD don't use glibc, so it can't link programs with Linux based libraries. (including Database libraries) On the other hand FreeBSD runs most Linux programs faster and with more stability that Linux does. [esp. Database Servers]
As to the prior writers attempts at FUD, GNU has had much less impact on any of the BSD's than it has had on Linux. In fairness, I think the conversion to using gcc was a major step in making BSD on PC more universally available.
There had been some discussion on some of the Debian lists, to making a more stable release of debian using the BSD kernal. That was a few months ago, I don't know if anything came of it..

Do it right, do it now, look good doing it.
