The most prominent, that I've seen, is Netscape. As a large portion of the world knows, Netscape's "Engineering Pit" has the bus sign connected to the SGI. I'm not usually into this method of action, but if we bug them enough.. Send messages along the lines of "Give FreeBSD a chance", or whatever your heart desires.. Another thing I wanted to bring up without another post is something I saw in a post last week. In comparison of FreeBSD and Linux, I saw something like "We are both anti-Microsoft". I'd personally have to disagree there. I don't know about the rest of you, but I am certainly not against Microsoft. Above all, it does not further our efforts, as FreeBSD fans/advocates, to insult another OS, the most popular, nonetheless. Do us all a favor, focus on FreeBSD. We want to push FreeBSD because we LOVE FreeBSD, not because we HATE Microsoft. Leave them out of it.
