I was in the bookstore at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee to pick up a text for a class that I'm taking. I wandered into the engineering book section and there it was. The Complete FreeBSD is being used as a text in a class on software engineering. Apparently they are using FreeBSD as a development platform. It must be a bit of a rush to learn that half way around the globe your book is being used as a text at a major university. Congrats Greg, and to the FreeBSD team. Sorry to end on a down note, but can't help but wonder why it is not also upstairs with the software competing with Linux. WC has to get their marketing act on the road and spread the gospel. --Frank "At no time is the freedom of speech more precious then when a man hits his thumb with a hammer." --Marshall Lumsden To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
