But that has nothing to do with my image of FreeBSD. Berkeley is much more than Telegraph Avenue, assigned areas for free speech, and perpetual students. I also envision one of the finest graduate schools in the world, home of Lawrence-Livermore labs, and the guys that brought us BSD. And it's also home to the finest Sake brewery outside of Japan. > "FreeBSD, is that like UCSD Pascal?" My first experience with BSD was at UCSD! I was learning UCSD Pascal at the time. Oh gee, I'm dating myself again... David To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
