The opportunity has always been there for another company to promote
and profit from FreeBSD. Not a single one has shown any interested.
Pacific Hi-Tech did for a short time, but then wandered off into
obscurity. Rich Morin as much as admitted he missed the boat on
FreeBSD and made Bob Bruce's business by doing so at FreeBSD Con
last year.
So, if you know of a disc vendor who wants to get into the FreeBSD
business, tell them to go right ahead. I'm not holding my breath
waiting for it.
