But Jordan, I only know you as the "boss man" of FreeBSD. There must be a lot of die-hard FreeBSD fans out here. Would it not be better to just try to organize, with some of those people, some ways we can help to promote FreeBSD? Lets face it, when its installed, its a great system. As far as marketing is concerned. Have you thought of using a marketing company here in Canada? Your dollar =$1.50 can. The one thing I do see at bookstores is a lot of books written for Linux. The only book for FreeBSD that I know of is from Greg Lehey. And that book is not in any book store I have been to. Not to put down FreeBSD, but when I contacted both cannon for my printer and real audio, they both said they have never heard of FreeBSD. Some how you must get your good name in journals or what ever these execs from large company's read. Damn I wish I could help out more. I want to see FreeBSD become huge. Regards..
