Hum,

freebsd-promotion@freebsd.org ?

I think its a good idea :-)

FreeBSD will loose a lot of market if they dont do the right promotion... like
doing the FreeBSD-Newspaper hehehe

Like I was saying: someone somewhere who is a real FreeBSD-hackers have time to

do the FUG?(Freebsd User Group)

This mailing list will go no-where ;-)
Its like freebsd-chat but with new user who try to do deseperate thing!

Hehehehe
