Oy! Traif! ;-) [For those of you not versed in Jewish lore, the word "traif" is used to refer to food that is considered "unclean," and therefore unfit to eat, according to the Jewish dietary laws. One way in which food can become "traif" is if it contains certain things mixed together (e.g. meat and dairy products), or if it is "contaminated" by contact with certain forbidden foods (such as pork).] >> Guys, we gotta pull FreeBSD out of its rut, if for no other reason than >> to provide an alternative to this lunacy. > >Sorry, I don't understand. > >Greg Linux is accumulating a groundswell of support that FreeBSD isn't. WHENEVER I hear of a company developing a product for Linux and ask, "What about FreeBSD?" they seem to say, "Free-who?" In my experience, FreeBSD doesn't enjoy even the recognition that OS/2, dying ember that it is, commands. That's a rut, folks. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
