I forwarded Amancio's message to rle, and received: Date: Sun, 8 Mar 1998 16:26:40 -0800 To: Faried Nawaz <fn@Hungry.COM> From: "rebecca l. eisenberg" <mars@bossanova.com> Hey thanks for forwarding this, Faried! I'm not sure what Amancio is saying ... is he saying that FreeBSD is much worse than I suggested? (I do like the "man, lean critical" line, though.) I would _love_ to write about FreeBSD, in particular because I love the notion of user-improved freely distributed software. Sadly, I know so little about FreeBSD beyond what I hear on fnet/icb. I would greatly appreciate your passing on to the mailing list that I would love to hear comments, complaints, ideas, rants, corrections and/or column ideas of any nature. As they say, a journalist is only as good as her sources. Thanks so much, and I hope you are well.
