FreeBSD is now seen as having faded into insignificance as Linux gathers steam. And folks who don't understand WHY that's happened are assuming that it must be inferior in quality. FreeBSD is getting slammed unfairly, and the core team isn't getting the credit and respect it deserves for its hard, high quality work. The way to fix this *is* to broaden the user base. Don't worry that they'll overload the developers with FAQs. The newbies will start to help one another. It's happened elsewhere. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
