Yep, I'm getting tired of all the rabid Linux weenies in the univerisity here (esp. the CS dept). I'm probably around more of them due to the student/university setting I'm in. I think BSD can win people over from NT, so I don't see the need to go thru Linux to get market share. Also, for what I do in my research lab, I often have to port things written on Linux to BSD, Solaris, SunOS, and Irix. I'm quite tired of the totally non-portable stuff that Linux perpetrates with its NIH syndrome. Network headers being the worst. Frankly, I just assume see Linux die. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.ucdavis.edu -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
