See that is one of the key issues. Granted Linux and MS
Platforms have a larger user base and are more widley known.
But as seen with Windows being widley known and used doesnt
mean that it is the best product. As "small" as freebsd has
been it still continues to be just as good if not better in
some aspects. As long as the current user base stays strong
more people will come over if they see or when they see that
FreeBSD offers them what they want in a more stable
envrionement. Its hard to re-direct the Sheep once they are
on a bandwagon of some sort. Who knows linux might become
better it might not. The energry should be spent on making
FreeBSD better then it already is and from there and market
quality not hype.
