Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Taken from: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/migration/hotmail/default.asp "FreeBSD, a UNIX-like system similar to the Linux operating system, was used to run the front-end Web servers that handled login, Microsoft OutlookŪ Express, and Web-based content delivery tasks" Is it just me or is this statement completely incorrect? A "Unix-like system" I always thought It was UNIX. Similar to Linux? I always believed that Linux was well, anything but UNIX. I also fail to see any similarities between FreeBSD and Linux. Maybe they should have said: "FreeBSD, an advanced BSD UNIX operating system, which you should not confuse with the silly penguin warez available, was used to run the front-end Web servers that handled login, Microsoft OutlookŪ Express, and Web-based content delivery tasks. We decided that because we leech all the information that passes though these servers anyway, that we may as well use M$ Windows 2000 server, a patched yet still buggy version of Windows 3.1. Everyone expects Mircosoft products to be unstable and they pay us to be beta testers so why break the trend. ;P -- Paul Halliday ============================================================================ Don't underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
