Jordan (via WC CDROM) has given thousands of FreeBSD CDROMs to academia, and many of us have worked hard to get FreeBSD into the coursework at various universities. It's really offensive to read accusations of complacency (or worse) about what we've done in this area. I can't help but wonder if Brett (and others) have any idea what goes on behind the scenes, especially when it comes to Jordan's FreeBSD promotion efforts. Based on what I've been reading the last couple of days, it's clear that there is a tremendous under-appreciation or total ignorance about it. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project - http://www.freebsd.org Creator of high-performance Internet servers - http://www.terasolutions.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
