I have, of course, done the same. I would also HIGHLY recommend sending a copy of the book + CD package -- ASAP -- to Mr. James Love Consumer Project on Technology PO Box 19367 Washington DC 20036 James Love works directly for Ralph Nader, and composed the letter to OEMs asking that they bundle alternative operating systems with their machines. The letter mentioned Linux but not FreeBSD. The group is installing Linux and will probably recommend it as an alternative to Microsoft operating systems, but they have not to my knowledge even tried FreeBSD. If Walnut Creek is concerned about the expense of sending out an evaluation copy or two of FreeBSD 2.2.6 and the book to Mr. Love and Mr. Nader, perhaps we can take up a small collection to have them sent. --Brett Glass At 12:58 AM 4/5/98 -0300, Capriotti wrote: >Great !
