        I thought the USA was best in the world at thinking it was best in the world…

        New York comes from New Amsterdam (stupid deal The Dutch made with the British who obviously were way smarter; The Dutch swapped Manhattan for a bunch of banana trees in the Caribbean. The Empire  came, saw, said 'cool, you take the bananas, gives us New Amsterdam, all we have to do is swap the name: from Amsterdam to York'  ;D ).

        Harlem = Haarlem, a place in The Netherlands.

        More here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_place_names_of_Dutch_origin

        Of course, that's all the work of our Forefathers.

        Who roll in their graves seeing what this once great country they built has been r*ped into.

        Did you know the world famous red light district in Amsterdam has been shutdown? Coffee shops have been brought under a fascistic regime?

        And next the socialistic idiots are surprised to see these hundreds of Boeings full of tourists don't touch down anymore in Amsterdam.

        They had sincerely predicted all these tourists would keep on coming; if not for the joints, hookers and 'live and let live' atmosphere in Amsterdam, then at any time to visit the 'Rijksmuseum', where you can look at boring paintings of undertalented painters. Paying premium entrance prices on your way in, and getting robbed by the illegal street scum on your way out. Whom police officers are not allowed to give the proper treatment, and whom 'judges' let walk freely.

        Sorry, I'm drifting off  ;D

        6 and a half billion people know that they are stupid, agressive, lower life forms.

          Yeah - Hookers, drugs and alcohol have probably never hurt tourism anywhere.

          Me - I'm staying in the Philippines for now.  There is none of that here.

          Anyway - Hope all this forking doesn't hurt pfsense.

                Are you from the Philippines, or an expat living there?

                        Sounds political - I just hope that the efforts don't become divided and turn 1 great project into several mediocre projects. 
                        Thats all.

                        How would what they do impact what we do?

                          It wouldn't UNLESS those are people who left the project.  I'm not in the know about who all the "main" people are for pfsense.

                            Nobody left the project.

                              Cool - Well, maybe they will do something good and you guys can accidentally have all the same ideas…  Simultaneously (-:

                                No need for accidents.  If they have good ideas, we'll look at adopting them.

                                  Do we know what pfSense version the fork was from?

                                  As I read that I was thinking 'pretty sure applianceshop might object to the name…... oh wait'.  ;)

                                  Generally speaking choice is a good thing. I look forward to seeing how this pans out.  :)

                                    Do we know what pfSense version the fork was from?

                                    a pfSense 2.2 beta from October.
                                    https://github.com/opnsense/core/blob/14.12/etc/version

                                    The OPNsense team immediately moved back to 10.0 (not 10-STABLE):
                                    https://github.com/opnsense/tools/commit/f4f556a2e12e2217ebd84529f64a35db84d2e427

                                    BTW, pfSense 2.2-RC1 was released Dec 10 (deliberately after 10.1-RELEASE).
                                    https://blog.pfsense.org/?p=1506

                                    The OPNsense team have also been overly enthusiastic about stripping off Copyright.  If that's who they want to be, I'm going to
                                    let it stand (for now.) As my grandfather said, "Character is destiny."  In one particular instance, they've repaired things, (likely because Scott Ullrich complained, but I don't know.)

                                    No, but Jos did threaten the pfSense trademark registration in Europe.  "Character is destiny."

                                      Yep. Mostly because when I first tried pfSense many years ago after reading about it on Slashdot (1.0?). I read some threads on the forum and nearly registered but didn't and regretted it ever since.  ::)

                                          Indeed, the GUI is nice.

                                          They left i386 builds out of the initial release.
                                          They removed the ability to set static routes out of their initial release, too.

                                          They removed AES-GCM (and with it, support for any real speed-up due to AES-NI), and it's not scheduled to come back until release 15.7.

                                          https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues/11

                                          But the GUI is nice. ;)

                                            I'm waiting for the people who use that to join this forum to ask for how it actually works, and ask for help fixing problems and bugs.

                                            Of course, lots of confusion and messy threads because it won't be clear it's not pfSense.

                                            6 and a half billion people know that they are stupid, agressive, lower life forms.
