Bill, I'm a staunch FreeBSD supporter (*BSD in general as my second choice) BUT, I see some things in Linux that although they aren't mature enough for my taste, I'd welcome similar initiatives in FreeBSD - one however is a bit of a sticking point for Courier, and that is FAM's kernel support.

Implementing this in FreeBSD would require a modification to FAM (better as FreeBSD's kqueue events are more robust than Linux's inode monitoring) but this is not the route the FAM guys are trying to push things - they want everyone to emulate the Linux event scheme.

Honestly, I don't know why they don't use something like glib's (not glibc, g-lib) event looping. It's portable, it's reasonably clean. There are others, too!
