Thus spake Jordan K.

But most of the questions and problems that appear in Usenet/Web/Email/IRC are very general and the answer is almost the same for other OS' (BSD), too. (I think of "How do I configure the network if-card?"). So far the user support which claims to be Linux support is also partly BSD support. > not saying that the other *BSDs are incapable of similar feats, but > until they've powered a Yahoo, a Hotmail or an ftp.freebsd.org, it's > an academic rather than proven fact. :-) If you can believe Microsoft-payd studies, then it's proven that Linux does NOT (see heise newsticker, some weeks ago, for the link).
