Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-advocacy@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG you know, this whole lin*x thing has me baffled. ... i am wondering why linux has a larger user/suport base in the first place? could it be that the word linux just 'sounds' more like a friendly operating system than FreeBSD? and that because of this new users are more susceptible to using it? i mean, just all the different versions of linux out there would make me think twice about even starting off with it? is linux perhaps a more 'marketable' name than FreeBSD? why not let's change the name FreeBSD to some variant of linux? i agree that the time for advocacy has come upon us more than ever before! eT -- Etienne de Bruin; edebruin@iname.com visit eT on the web: http://listen.to/eT (last update: 20 Feb 1999) "god is there, there's no denying, supernatural" - dc talk, supernatural.
