It's a good thing he didn't publish the rest of what I said ;-) Working at a Linux World for 3 straight days can begin to wear on you a bit. You can only answer "So, what distro of linux is this?" so many times before you start to froth at the mouth. That said, we gave out mass quantities of FreeBSD and PC-BSD cd's at the show along with the "Why FreeBSD" article that an IBM developer wrote and we also handed out many many BSDCan and FreeBSD Foundation flyers. I was even making people wait for their BSD cd to get burned on the spot in order to separate the bizarre freebie moochers that wander these things like linux zombies. A good time was had by all. -matt -- Matt Olander CTO, iXsystems - "Servers for Open Source" http://www.iXsystems.com Public Relations, The FreeBSD Project http://www.FreeBSD.org Phone: (408)943-4100 ext. 113 Fax: (408)943-4101 --
