I'd also like to compile a list of impressive and/or interesting things that people are doing with FreeBSD. Mike Smith and I talked briefly once about the fact that FreeBSD machines are powering systems in the remote corners of the earth - it would be nice if we could do a nice article or simple summary with lots of neat stories on it. I could fire off a little app to collect he "entries".. of course, I also have to finish the project database first (if only my monitor hadn't just blown-up... sigh..). -Mark > > Have Fun, > Amancio > > > > > > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Mayo mark@vmunix.com RingZero Comp. http://www.vmunix.com/mark finger mark@vmunix.com for my PGP key and GCS code ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "The problem is how do you build tools that understand your programs at a deeper semantic level." - James Gosling To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
