I'd be happy to do this. (Over the past few years, I have written many *BSD and open source articles for various print and online media.) I can send query letters proposing to write new articles introducing FreeBSD or to do reprints or rewrites of my previous articles. Feel free to email me off-list with newspapers or magazines that you'd like me to contact about publishing an article about FreeBSD. If you can, please visit their website or read the magazine/newspaper for contact information (editors names, email, phone, address, et cetera). If they have published previous articles with a similar focus, please let me know. (Any URLs will be great.) Maybe your area has a computer or tech magazine; for example, my area has the Computer Source magazine (and used to have TekBug). Jeremy C. Reed http://bsd.reedmedia.net/ p.s. Also, if you'd be interested in being interviewed for any of my articles, please let me know off-list. It adds personality to the articles.

It will take first place on the list. :) The downside is that you will show the world that you are running a very old release that probably have loads of bugs and exploits. -- R From owner-freebsd-advocacy@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Aug 6 10:08:03 2003 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-advocacy@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4128037B401 for ; Wed, 6 Aug 2003 10:08:03 -0700 (PDT) Received: from imf24aec.mail.bellsouth.net (imf24aec.mail.bellsouth.net [205.152.59.72]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 584EA43FBD for ; Wed, 6 Aug 2003 10:08:02 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from 2m5mefx02@sneakemail.com) Received: from vwinxp.sneakemail.com ([68.155.193.9]) by imf24aec.mail.bellsouth.netESMTP <20030806170759.JPHK19510.imf24aec.mail.bellsouth.net@vwinxp.sneakemail.com> for ; Wed, 6 Aug 2003 13:07:59 -0400 Message-Id: <4.3.2.7.2.20030806130233.01adf010@threespace.com> X-Sender: tech@threespace.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 4.3.2 Date: Wed, 06 Aug 2003 13:06:35 -0400 To: FreeBSD Advocacy From: Chip Morton <2m5mefx02@sneakemail.com> In-Reply-To: <20030806122342.P58710@majakka.cksoft.de> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Subject: Re: 2k uptime ;-) X-BeenThere: freebsd-advocacy@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: FreeBSD Evangelism List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 06 Aug 2003 17:08:03 -0000 What impresses me most about this setup is the fact that there hasn't been a power outage, hardware failure, or clumsy coffee drinker to foil the whole setup in these five years. Amazing. Kudos to FreeBSD on its equally impressive stability.

Amazing. they have a dedicated ups on this machine and I can remember about 3-4 years back when there was some larger work on the electrical wiring in the building in question. We dragged power to the server room in question using extension cords (the 3 phase 380V kind that has a box with multiple 2 phase 220V plugs). The machine survived plugging the ups out of the power supply and into the temp. power and back again. That was 3-4 years back. ;-) Apart from that the machine lives on the far left on top shelf in an air conditioned server room. Nobody ever has to move it around if they want to muck around with some of the other machines in there. But the pc in question is a very plain off the shelf single cpu box with an asus board, an ide disk and 3 x 3com 3c590 ethernet cards. The power supply has not failed, the hard disk has not failed dispite continuos logging and rotating of the logs. > Kudos to FreeBSD on its equally impressive stability. indeed....
