Regarding the long thread that ensued, a while back, after I posted and
questioned the possibility of a BSD magazine in print....below is a
response I got from one of the editors of Linux Magazine.
Why would advertising be such a big problem, since most applications
that are made for Linux, will run on *BSD? What products are
made for Linux exclusively and won't run on *BSD?
