Please mention patches...and how few the FBSD admin needs to apply. That is boring but in the public eye right now. Also the consistency that someone else mentioned. When the admin installs something new, they can pretty well guess where the config file will be. With Linux it's a crap shoot depending on distro. Mean time between reboots would be nice if you caould get data. --- Murray Stokely <murray@FreeBSD.org> wrote: > On Tue, Sep 02, 2003 at 11:59:16AM +0200, Michal Pasternak > wrote: > > I'd suggest the demonstration of Linux emulation - for > example, by showing a > > working Oracle installation or launching some Linux-only > games. > > We may launch StarOffice 6 this time.
