According to the latest spewage from slashdot, "TurboLinux" is the #1 OS in Japan.. wading through the posts, it's noted that they are counting only retail sales. Yet, I've managed to unearth a lovely post: Re:Don't forget FREEBSD by Anonymous Coward on Monday July 26, @07:20PM EDT (#69) No. FreeBSD is invisible in Japan. I've lived here for 18 months and the Linux momentum is awesome. I've seen Linux on sale at newstands and drug stores. Never seen any BSD on sale anywhere. Sorry. /me wonders what the real truth is.. - alex You wear guilt, like shackles on your feet, Like a halo in reverse - Depeche Mode To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
