Ok,..well, contacting LM and LJ aren't a problem but I've had a hard time finding contact addresses for some of the others like CMP. Either their contact listings are burried so far down or they just list a snail mail address or long distance phone number. Can anybody recommend any other publishers?

I'd say, contact the publisher of your choice and tell them that you have a list of people who would be interested in advertising in a BSD magazine. They need to be made aware that the advertising market exists. Remember, the vendor doesn't care. If they support BSD and Linux, they don't want to be involved in an X-is-better-than-Y flamewar. -- Michael Lucas mwlucas@blackhelicopters.org http://www.blackhelicopters.org/~mwlucas/ Big Scary Daemons: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/q/Big_Scary_Daemons To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
