	My 2 cents worth on this whole thing is that I like the BSD way
of doing things. I have used tons of different OS's, battled with employers
over BSD/SVSV and things to that nature. I use BSD because I like the way 
that things work. If I wanted the sysv way to do things, I would use linux
or solaris or even worse, sco. I think that we should keep things that way
they work now. If we change to more of a SYSV style of things, then the 
SYSV camps will start to think that their OS's are the best and we realized
that so thats why we changed. I guess it boils down to this: SYSV or BSD.
The choice is ours.
