In reality, FreeBSD can not be concurentable ws NT, we have few big
problems:
1. bad java support
1. biss-awt won't work (on 2.2-stable)
2. port of latest jdk from sun is absent.
2. We have not GUI admin interface for FreeBSD,
so newbaies will preffer other systems.
3. near 80% of using computers is databases.
we have not port of client software for well-known
commerce databases (Oracle, Sysbase, Informix)
4. We have not good c++ compiler.
gcc is great, but exceptions and namespaces are
very important stuff for c++ programmers.
And standart string class yet not well in 2.2-stable.
