BSD and Darwin derivatives MidnightBSD has integrated ProPolice into its system. "MidnightBSD is a desktop operating system for x86 compatible, and soon amd64 compatible architectures. It was originally based on FreeBSD 6.1 Beta. The goal of the project is to create a BSD with ease of use and simplicity in mind."

Well, I can definitely understand your sentiment. We are by no means a distro. While at this point we do still resemble FreeBSD, it is our goal to go into a more user friendly and secure system. I don't know if we want to be as draconian as OpenBSD at this point but we would like it to have a strong influence on how the system is put together. While Free/Open/Net/BSD all offer numerous advantages, none of them quite met the needs in which we were wanting.

I understand the resentment but most new projects face this, especially when creating a fork. Our goal is not to take away from users of other BSD's; our goal is to create a BSD for people who too are looking for something different.

Thank for the input though! It's always great to get feedback from the community, whether good or bad.
