Hi.  I'm in the process of evaluating and selecting between the various
BSD's for i386s.  Because the XFree86 support for my videocard is very
weak, I'd like to use the AcceleratedX server from XInside.  Email to them
resulted in a "We don't have a NetBSD version because there's no place for
us to advertise.  If we had that, we'd announce and release it."

I'd like to know a couple of things.

1) Would -you-, personally, want to use the XInside product on NetBSD?  If
so, send e-mail to me.  I'd like to be able to present them with some hard
data (like, "150 people want to buy your product today, so please release
a NetBSD version.")  I think it would be more effective to do this, rather
than trickling in requests to them.  I'm not planning on releasing email
addresses or names to them, but if you don't have a problem with my doing
so, indicate it, and I might consider it if enough people want.  Silence on that
topic will be construed as "please don't release my e-mail address to
anyone."

2) Is there any philosophical problem with a "netbsd-products" mailing list
for commercial ventures like this?  Or am I violating some taboo by bringing
it up?

Thanks.  I -really- want to use NetBSD.  Here's hoping I can.
