The reason that Ted asked for a donation of the server is because = apparently none of them have access to one to make FreeBSD work properly = on this particular system architecture. Ted's request is not the only = thing that can be done. You can even loan for a certain period of time = if you wish. The time period would have to be sufficent enough for the = developers. The developers can reward you (support for FreeBSD) if you give them = something (donation money, parts, gimmericks). That is why you got a = free OS. > Everyone tell me to use LINUX. Now I know why. You support > bad slow version and not good one. Very stupid people. >=20 FreeBSD is more organized and managed more professionally compared to = many of the Linux distrubtion organizations. That is why anyone will = tell you to use anything except $THAT. The FreeBSD development seems slow compared to Linux development for = numberous of reasons. I cannot and will not name them except for one. = We go for quality...not bleeding edge (I did that first!..but it's = broken after few days). Everyone in the world is stupid...no perfect smart human exists. :) Chris > Boris >=20 > Ted Mittelstaedt <tedm@toybox.placo.com> wrote: >=20 >=20 >> -----Original Message----- >> From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org >> [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Boris >> Spirialitious Sent: Tuesday, January 04, 2005 3:25 PM >> To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org >> Subject: Supermicro Hardware and FreeBSD >>=20 >>=20 >> None of the new Supermicro hardware I've tried works with Freebsd >> 4.10 properly.
