Hubbard" Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG People who desire more native apps for FreeBSD need to talk to the vendors in question, not wait for some mysterious 3rd party to do the convincing. Somebody mentioned sybase, for example, and I've gotten some interest from the Sybase folks in the past when we've discussed the matter, but it always comes down to one thing: Customers. They want to talk to potential customers who will be voting with their wallets for the product, not some OS vendor who's simply trying to argue that it would be A Good Thing for them to do it. This goes double for vendors who won't even talk to the FreeBSD.org folks but are always interested when a big customer comes walking around asking the same questions. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
