When I wrote to Olaf I did'nt have your company in mind, period! Yes, I've seen your site before and yes I support the BSD community both as a privat per$on, and through my job as sys.adm. at a hosting company. I even have the privilege of being board-member at the bsd-dk.dk (europe>scandinavia>denmark) Of course I'll remember you when I answer mails in the future. My mistake. By the way, do you have any local retailers in .dk or just nearby e.g. .se, .de ?? When I need a box (and I use just as many OpenBSD installations as I do FreeBSD) I expect to have it within days! Can you do that ? I need to know if I'm going to do any advocacy for you. respectfully /per per@xterm.dk > I am just wondering why you would tell someone to go to the > companies you mention below when it is our company, FreeBSD > Systems, that supports FreeBSD as in breaking the 4gb memory and > other fixes we have paid FreeBSD core team members for and then > gave that code back to the > FreeBSD community. > > It is stuff like what is seen below that makes us think 'why > support the FreeBSD community when the community does not wish to > support us'. > > Just my 3 cents > > Lanny > > > On Mon, 2004-04-26 at 10:36, Per Engelbrecht wrote: >> Hi Juan >> I'm not sure what you mean by '2 GB Network'.
