Another thought might be to get that word out that the Linux binaries do run under FreeBSD. In the short term these companies could list FreeBSD when they have a web site with pulldown platform choices. While I would prefer a FreeBSD binary, a Linux binary is sometime OK but I would like the company to know that I use, recommend and purchase FOR FreeBSD. I am sure that compaines keep track of the platform download choices and I wish I could "vote" for FreeBSD in this manner. I really detest download site with platform pulldowns like this because I feel like I am "voting" for Linux when it is the only choice given to me. -David Langford To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-database" in the body of the message
