The intro to a recent article on SLashdot entitled "FreeBSD in the Penguin's Shadow" states: An anonymous reader sent us an article about FreeBSD, and life in Linux's Shadow. Interesting article about the culture difference between Linux and FreeBSD users. Its a good one for you FreeBSD fans and you curious Linux users alike. I wish more BSD stuff came down the pipe here, but Linux just has the vast majority of the submissions here too. Given that slashdot is one of the highest-profile "hacker" news sites, I think it would be a great opportunity for some visible PR. It's certainly heartening to know that the editors aren't as linux-centric as their content would lead you to believe. The article itself is at http://www.upside.com/texis/mvm/down_the_toilet?id=3714d4820 and is quite a positve one - nice work, Josef and Jordan! Kris ----- The Feynman problem-solving algorithm: 1.
