The actual roots lie with the professionals. Your assertions are inconsistent with the facts. If your statements above were true, then FreeBSD would be at least as successful as Linux. It would enjoy the same installed base and growth rate. In fact, BSD UNIX in general would be far ahead, because it has been around longer. But it's not, and in fact is losing market and server share. Of course, I'm sure you won't allow the facts to affect your utter devotion to the doctrine of the Church of L. Jordan Hubbard, which preaches otherwise. :-( --Brett Glass To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
