The body of it seems to be quite accurate. But, it is funny to see FreeBSD described as a software program for Linux. Actually, it would be more accurate to say that Linux contributes many software programs for FreeBSD since FreeBSD is able to run many Linux things in compatibility mode. But, as we all know, FreeBSD is an operating system unto itself and is in no way dependant on Linux. Anyway, I, and probably all FreeBSD users and developers, appreciate the recognition and well reasoned text, even if the title is a bit skewed. Makes it worth a bookmark. ////jerry > > If you feel that having your product listed on Softpedia is not a benefit > for you or simply need something changed or updated, please contact us via > email at webmaster@softpedia.com and we will work with you to fix any > problem you may have found with the product's listing. > > -- > Sincerely, > The Softpedia Team > > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > Softpedia is a library of over 400,000 free and free-to-try software > programs for Windows, Mac OS and Linux, games and gaming tools, Windows > device drivers, mobile devices and IT-related articles. > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > Softpedia - the encyclopedia of free software downloads > http://www.softpedia.com/ > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
