Wow, harsh statement.  "OpenBSD is similar because it is a direct fork 
of NetBSD, which would imply that there was/is something wrong with the 
NetBSD project."  While some OpenBSD people do agree with that I don't 
think that statement is appropriate.  I read the same out of the 
IPCop/Smoothwall statement.  This game can be played with many other 
forks.  No reason was given why Smoothwall has/had something wrong with 
it.  In fact it sounds like the poster doesn't know much about 
Smoothwall, just like me - I don't know either software.  With that the 
statement above not only has no value but it's also misleading.
