basically, as long as FreeBSD is still operating as wonderfully as it has, let's just keep the name FreeBSD and let the rest of the BSD's combine with it so that FreeBSD will be thought of in the same light as Windows NT - an Operating System WITH accountability, and respect. Everyone that reads this will obviously have the respect. It's time for the *BSD's to combine and become a Force the Marketing, and Development of this flavor of Unix. It's only logic ,that given the funding, FreeBSD could potentially become a contender with NT (2000, whatever). I work for an ISP that uses FreeBSD (because my former bosses are now also employed there), but, only marginally. My former employer's ran an ISP with FreeBSD being the main OS...they used Sun's also, and it ran 10 times better than the NT based network we are at now. This bring me to my point: Accountability. Micro$hit has the $$$ to offer. Since everyone of us knows that FreeBSD is the WAY to run efficiently and , most importantly, COST EFFECTIVELY, shouldn't we focus and making FreeBSD a mainstream OS? Will we lose the Open Source attitude? NO, we should break new ground with it. Should we fear "Sell-Out" being flung our way? No. The BSD's of the Universe (anymore out there?) need to combine and finally take it's place as the King of the Internet. The Internet isn't going anywhere. It's time that FreeBSD get's it Day. just my 2 pennies. Chris Lynch Proud to Use FreeBSD To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
