FWIW: I have had private communication with someone from slashdot after having expressed sentiments that slashdot seems to be very linux oriented. I was given the same impression as that which can be gleaned from the quote you pasted. If we send it, it will be published. They have put stuff up about The FreeBSD 'zine (http://www.freebsdzine.org/). Twice I think. In a similar vein, http://www.linuxtoday.com has included an article I submitted about my web site. So despite the name, they are not adverse to FreeBSD article. -- Dan Langille The FreeBSD Diary http://www.FreeBSDDiary.com/freebsd To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
