Agreed. My personal take is that the BSD movement did not gather as much steam as Linux because IT WAS AHEAD OF ITS TIME. The timing of Linux just happened to be better, so it garnered more press and more recognition. This should change. Again, it's time to form a team and raise money to support it -- perhaps via the marketing of books, disks, and/or technical support. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
