Actually, what I intended to bring to light was that, in my eyes, there are 3 different markets (actually, the latter 2 could be combined to some degree) that should be treated seperately when doing PR---i.e., it would be a good idea to have 3 different presentations in every case. Time was not a factor in my assertion. You're not going to want to give Joe President of Fooblitzky.com, LLC a technical review of FreeBSD's VM system or the glories of devfs. He's going to want to hear "stable, secure, reliable, low TCO, etc." Of course, I don't have any background in marketing whatsoever, so I could be wrong. :-) -- acc@anthonychavez.org http://www.anthonychavez.org/ Bring back Gopher! http://www.scn.org/~bkarger/gopher-manifesto To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
