I saw BSDIs retail product of FreeBSD in a local bookstore the other day, and it became sadly clear why LINUX, although highly inferior, is so much more widely used. Right next to Freebsd (priced at $129.95) was Mandrake LINUX for $29.95. What they dont seem to realize is that people who know its worth more than linux also know they dont have to pay $129. for free software with fancy packaging and paid support. Of course they are building systems now...... db To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
