Well talking about the new snapshot, when do you expect the new version 
to be release (yeah you probably get asked a lot) and is there a 
possibily for the 0.11RC2 to be available on freebsd ports, I talked 
with the FreeBSD ports, and he says he would make it available, but it 
is still not there yet.
