I haven't abandonned the live original pg_live linux based distro. At the same time if there's anything I've learned in life is that you should always take the opportunity to build bridges when you can.

FYI I'm a Linux user and not a BSD person but I do hang around with a number of them and I find my connections are usefull, profitable and sometimes even just plain fun.
