I am student from the University of Southern Queensland, | Australia. I am currently writing up an article on Unix-based "open source" | operating systems as an alternative to Windows-based systems. | | As such, I am hoping and would truly appreciate any information that you | could provide me with on the history, technical features of FreeBSD as well | as any advantages it may have over other Unix-based and Windows-based | operating systems. I hope you'll pardon me for saying this, but we frequently get requests from students asking us, essentially, to do their homework for them. This is always a little discouraging, and I'm afraid we've gotten a bit jaded by these repeated requests. We haven't quite gotten to the point of complete cynicism, but . . . well, you get the picture. On the plus side, all the information you require is already at our website: http://freebsd.org/ I assume you got the questions@freebsd.org address from the website anyway; I don't know why you couldn't have bought yourself to continue reading the website to find the information you sought. (It's a process we like to call "research.") Best of luck to you. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
