I wonder if jmb will kick me, if only for the appearance. :o Hopefully someone of import will express the level of interest (or lack thereof :)) this email deserves. Is the FreeBSD project intersted in increasing it's user base? FWIW. During my internet journeys I found this. http://heplibw3.slac.stanford.edu/FIND/FREEHEP/SECTION/operating_systems/INDEX http://heplibw3.slac.stanford.edu/FIND/fhadding.html It seems that FreeBSD might be able to add the OS to this list. This might help that terrible plight we suffer that most people think "U N I X L"ike OS is an anagram for Linux and therefore only Linux=='UNIX Like'. I personally would like to see O'reilly change all Linux references in their texts to FreeBSD! Please let me know if this is at all useful. Hope this helps, Jason Wells PS: This is more of a suggestion to the core group than a question. The mailto.html did not provide an alternative mailing address. The website said hackers for suggestion but that didnt seem appropriate either. I did not want to presume to send email directly to core@freebsd.org. So it landed on freebsd-questions.
