I've always considered the efforts made by Mr. Lucas, writing 
articles and such, quite impressive.. So maybe we just need a
whole lot of writing .. HOWTO's,  handbook translations, plain articles.

Also i hear a lot of people complaining that the VA-software sponsored
sites like slashdot and such are extremely anti-BSD. Cant say im a 
regular visitor of those sites so i wonder if that is a full truth.

btw. does anybody know of a url where a decent comparison in techniques
used in Linux / BSD's / Windows / ...  it so be viewed ? (non sponsored
ofcourse)


Kind regards,

Joao
