If so, how come the only Mercury News article on the subject (other than a tiny passing reference in Dan Gillmor's column), at http://www.sjmercury.com/breaking/docs/026444.htm only alludes to operating systems other than Linux in a vague way and mentions NO other by name? I think that the event is being cast as Linux-only by the promoters, and that you're being used. I really mean it. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
