And everyone at Montana State University for their initial support.
Thanks to everyone, especially those not mentioned, and we sincerely
hope you enjoy this release of FreeBSD!
Jordan would also like to give special mention to Poul-Henning Kamp
and Gary Palmer, both of whom put in long hours helping him to

Thanks also to everyone else who helped, especially those not
mentioned, and we sincerely hope you enjoy this release of FreeBSD!
