Unfortunately my workplace is severely in-debt to Microsoft products because of the lack of support for them for FreeBSD.. I'd prefer to do all of my server-related stuff on one machine, and I certainly don't want it to be that POS NT server. --- > >This list is generally for discussions by and for people for whom >it is more important that FreeBSD win, and trying to fight on >two fronts is a good way to lose. --- Certainly it's important for FreeBSD to win. My original comment of not seeing ports of Netscapes Servers has been blown out of proportion (partially by me, indeed) into this anti-Microsoft browser war. I was happier with my remark "Phew, thank god IE isn't on Unix". That fits when we're talking about FreeBSD, does it not? So I guess what I have to do is email my Netscape Sales rep and say "Sooo when am I going to see this for FreeBSD?" .. In the meantime, I'm stuck with the 'dreaded NT box'. > > > Terry Lambert > terry@lambert.org --- Drew "Droobie" Baxter Network Admin/Professional Computer Nerd(TM) OneEX: The OneNetwork Exchange 207-942-0275 http://www.droo.orland.me.us My Latest Kernel: FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT (ONEEX) #14: Mon Oct 19 22:36:58 EDT 1998 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
