no to take away  from anything else you said Bob... but are you sure about 
the more hardware platforms thing? .... it would seem to me that award would 
have to go to netbsd..... but.... maybe i'm wrong.... just curious...... and 
stuff....

the only sizeable software company i have ever seen publish a release date 
of "when it's done" is apogee/3drealms... a game company... (dukenukem 
series games) any software is only done when it's done....Linus hade made 
statements giving general timeframes.... but... software opensource or not 
isn't done until it's done...

the leson out of this isn't for the open-source comunity, it's for the large 
software companies that publish a release date... then are late... and the 
software still isn't ready to ship when it does.. (microsoft....)
