"Australian Personal Computer" (APC mag), April 1999. 

The forum section of the above mag (pp53) included an editorial note that they
will be conducting a comparison of the major operating systems to be published
in their July edition.

APC mag is Oz's leading PC magazine and has in recent times been giving more and
more space to Open Source material, and becoming critical of all things Redmond.
The only unfortunate thing is that they are often guilty of assuming that
OpenSource = Linux, and frequently insert "Linux" when they mean "Unix".
Their favorite linux dist. is RedHat, need I say more...

I see this as a great opportunity to "correct" this, and at the same time
ensure that FreeBSD is included in the OS comparison. The comment in the Ed
note was "It's not going to be easy to properly compare OSes, but we're going
to have a crack at it."  Perhaps some suggestions as to how/what to compare
with regard to FreeBSD might also be appreciated.

So, if someone here with far greater knowledge than I possess would care to
contact APC and make a case, the contact details are as follows:
