You've said this repeatedly on many occasions, but I have yet to see from you one tiny shred of evidence to back it up. On the contrary, all of my numbers show that FreeBSD is growing rapidly - in fact, faster than Linux. This is despite the fact that Linux is apparantly making inroads into the desktop market. My numbers are real numbers based on product sales and download stats. You may think the numbers can be dismissed as being inaccurate for whatever reasons you may have, but WHERE are YOUR numbers? ...and why are you still trolling on the FreeBSD lists after switching some months ago to OpenBSD? I mean really...why don't you go pester them about their totally broken marketing efforts? They sure need it far more than we do. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project - http://www.freebsd.org Creator of high-performance Internet servers - http://www.terasolutions.com Pave the road of life with opportunities.
