Message-ID: <19990828233042.C5101@tabby.kudra.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.95.6i Sender: owner-freebsd-advocacy@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG What have I done? I've offered to give a FreeBSd presentation to the local Linux Users group. At first I thought I'd give the standard "Why FreeBSD is good" spiel that I give to my customers. I realize that they generally trust me, so I don't have to work so hard. However, the User group guy has asked me to 'Compare it with Linux', which leaves me a little cold. I'll have an opportunity to install it from scratch, to show it off. I though I'd put the emphasis on 'BSD', with FreeBSD as a particular, Intel/Alpha oriented branch. I had been thinking along these lines: 1. Loose history. 2. Install it over ethernet from my machine. 3. Why its good for admins: like most of the other BSD's. Administration is simpler. Easy maintenence via cvsup, make world, etc. ports. compatibility with Linux/SCO/BDSI binaries. 4. Demo cvsup. 5. Install a port.
