We should focus upon making FreeBSD a more secure, robust, reliable OS... not merely upon 'world domination'. Religious fanatics so obsessed with making their OS the 'only' OS is one of the problems with M$. We don't need to mimic that behavior. I'm not saying we don't need to advocate FreeBSD - I merely believe that we should not become so obsessed with getting 'more users' that we loose sight of the development philosophy/goals that has/have made the FreeBSD Project what it is today. --Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
