Do we really need a user base that insists on using what # the Joneses are using? The "everyone" that's falling behind Linux are just a # handful of mega-corporations. When you look at small corporations and # businesses, there are quite a few that use FreeBSD instead of Linux. My ISP # is one of them. But announcing my ISP in a list to impress corporate bigwigs # isn't going to impress anyone. It's not much, but I have a short list of companies and/or groups that are using FreeBSD, at least for their front-end websites. The short list is currently on http://bsdnotlinux.org (it's a domain I had registered a while ago and finally got a chance recently to start something with it). -- Linh Pham lplist@closedsrc.org Webmaster and FreeBSD Geek http://closedsrc.org closedsrc.org Every solution breeds new problems To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
