I don't mean to nit-pick, but was curious if you mispoke, or if BSD, by 
virtue of being something (older, simpler, less popular, a cleaner design, 
etc.) actually tought you something about Linux. I've been meaning to do a 
BSD install for some time, but keep getting distracted. I guess I need a 
specific project for it, but all the projects I think of I can just 
implement on top of my GNU/Linux systems. Maybe I should get into 
filesystems and look at NetBSD and puffs.

Also, someone suggested working on a Free flash implementation. Is Flash 
that interesting of a technology compared to in-browser JavaScript and 
Java applets?
