If you go back and read the list charter, something you seem to either be unaware of or completely ignore, this list is for discussing developing software on or for FreeBSD. Not for clueless newbie questions like "does FreeBSD work on my hardware?", that's what the -questions list is for. You seem to think the purpose of this list is for you to denigrate the work of the people who make FreeBSD, broadcast your own lovely little brand of FUD, and point out how much better Linux is for your customers. That's just fine, but this is NOT the appropriate channel for your opinions. If you want to present code that you think will fix the problem, fine. If you want to present diagnostics that think will fix the problem, fine. If you want user support questions, ask in -questions. If you want to opine that Linux is superior and FreeBSD a waste of time, as you have done so often lately, go do it somewhere else. This is not the appropriate venue. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
