The GNU public license is one of the reasons for the popularity of Linux. The idea that anyone can make a disturobution of linux and include what ever they choose has created alot of distrobutions and a larger knowledge base. Every company that creates a distro then creates it's own experts to support it. and that creates the magazine base and the referencies. The central commity design of FBSD and all the BSD Family of *nixs means that almost no one is making money off the system. Fewer money making companies mean that fewer ppl are paid to know the os and that the market share is smaller. Smaller market share eqauls fewer magazine. I know of one from the BSDMALL deamon news. I just found that yesterday and it's still pretty new. ----- Original Message ----- From: irado <irado@subdimension.com> To: <freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Saturday, March 23, 2002 6:50 AM Subject: why so few knowledge base for FreeBSD?? > > I am coming from the linux realm, and noted that besides > *BSD's are older than Linux there are few referencies > (except the ones from the community itself). > > I mean: linux has lots and lots of magazines to choose: > Linux magazine, LinuxUser, Linux this and that, > LinuxGazette, and so on. > > What magazines for *BSD's does exist?? > > thank you > > irado furioso com tudo > linux user 179402 > . > _____________________________________________________________________ > // free anonymous email || forums \\ subZINE || anonymous browsing > subDIMENSION -- http://www.subdimension.com > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
