To the interviewer's credit I think he did an excellent job of not falling into an OS bashing mode. After hearing the linux guy I was concerned that the interviewer was going to expect Jordan to answer these issues that were brought up, to be put on the defensive. However I don't think he did, as far as the interviewer is concerned I think it was a very fair interview. If anything it made the guy from VA Linux look bad because out of the three people ( Linux, FreeBSD, and the interviewer ), the linux guy was the only one who spent large amounts of timing bashing. ( Of course NT bashing is open to all :-) Joseph Scott joseph@randomnetworks.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
