Let me see if I can get you guys back on track, the FreeBSD project can clearly use funding to further improve the system. We can all benefit greatly if many us donate a small amount of money and thats specially true in my case since I spend so much time on FreeBSD that is really easy for me to see the cost justification for a small donation.

I suggested that I would like to see further work on SMP however it is really up to the project to see that the work gets done or to fund whatever aspect of the system they think they can tackle on. Is that simple. For example, *NO* amount of money is going to coherce me into doing something I don't want to do --- got that problem right now with a small startup project -- I ain't interested even though I know there is going to be money made if the project is brought to completion.

With respect to companies and their targetted needs this funding channel is not appropriate and most of you who are in this scenario know it.

So please donate to the FreeBSD Project and do *suggest* what you like to see done . I consider both aspects equally important.
