I There isn't usually much about it but a few of their writers know about it now (I think this was a redhat review, so seeing it mentioned was particularly welcome alongside words like reliable etc. :-) there was a bit of a mention in an article about e-commerce a month or two ago as well, although the price of leased lines over here doesn't help much getting people to try and run that themselves (although if other isp's follow easynet's lead it should get a bit better) and leave it up to whatever their isp uses, although quite often that's some kind of BSD anyway :-) > > Maybe they could use some of those 2.2.6 cd's ... > > Yes. I have a feeling you'd probably get rid of all of them extremely quickly with a coupon almost anywhere in the magazine (except maybe right in the middle of the front 400-odd pages of adverts :-) I email'd their editor a few months ago to ask if they would consider cover mounting a cutdown release (if only a few selected packages, maybe samba,netscape,lynx, that kind of thing, were included it could quite happily sit on the same CD as their usual Microsoft adverts etc) but no reply - maybe it needs helping along by the authors of friendly articles (I'll have a dig around for email addresses later)... I noticed someone asking them if they'd put Red Hat on a cover CD in the chat forum on their web pages recently but I don't know if anyone important reads those. They've done a Linux cover CD before though, time for something different I think :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
