Overall positive, but I think slightly misguided. His comments about not getting articles is bogus, I send them all the time. And if you have seen slashdot, alot of irrelevant crap is posted there all the time, so I dont buy that he only posts a select few... my guess is that he himself is just not interested, which is cool, but I wish he would just say that... People aren't going to get on his case for that (at least I hope not). Taken from Slashdot.org: Probably because since 50% of the readers use Linux, only .01% of the submissions involve FreeBSD. I occasionally post other stuff, but if people don't send it, I don't post it. And even so, I still pick a dozen a day, and if it isn't interesting I won't post it (no matter what OS) and let's face it- more happens in a week in the Linux world than happens in the 'other free os world' in a week- that's not a comment about the quality of any of the other systems, but rather a comment about the amazing growth that the Linux world has experienced in the last ye Jay -- 4.4 > 95 http://www.xcf.berkeley.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
