However, I can make money by webhosting on my BSD server, and I can do things that would be impossible using a non-opensource OS, because of price and limitations to what I can modify ( I can't afford to buy a very expensive machine to run Windows NT and buy all the software packages I'd need to make it comparable to the low-priced PC I'm running BSD and Apache and all the other weird little daemons on, for instance :) I also know that most companies don't have this kind of support available, i.e., people who use it every day and can give you straight answers quickly. Therefore, it's in my best interest to actively participate as best as I can, by asking/answering questions on the list, no ? :) -rob ( www.namodn.com ) ( robert@namodn.com ) On Tue, 22 Dec 1998, Will Cook wrote: > If BSD is free, how do you get paid? > > from: > wcook@gapartners.com > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
