Though you'll never hear Microsoft admit it. And the latest rumour that I heard was that they are trying to replace it with Windows 2000 servers (any day now...) Which makes me wonder: With all of the standards-based technologies included in Windows 2000 (TCP/IP, Kerberos, 3Des, etc...) how much of that do you suppose was "borrowed" from BSD code? The BSD license is perfect for just that sort of thing. We'll never know, I guess. - M - On Mon, 24 Jul 2000, Dimitri T. wrote: > hi, > indeed it's a very good article that will do the job ;^) > > I was surprised when I read the following: > > > FreeBSD is much more than an experimental platform.
