Even if it is true ( and I haven't done enough looking to say if it is or isn't ) I think this should be looked at a little bit wider perspective. Think of it as someone announcing that they are going to embrace unix flavor X. Flavor X can be pretty much any kind of unix, be it Linux, Solaris, etc. I think it's much easier for FreeBSD to show what a makes it a neat OS when you are talking to people who are already familiar with unix in general. There's ( hopefully ) a lot less education needed before you can start explaining what makes FreeBSD great. Telling someone about what makes FreeBSD great who is only familiar with Windows NT requires lots of education before you can get to the good stuff :-) > > Regards, Goshik -- Joseph Scott joseph.scott@owp.csus.edu Office Of Water Programs - CSU Sacramento To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
