There's an introductory article entitled "Yes!  There is intelligent
life beyond Linux" (!) in this weeks Network Week.

<URL:http://www.networkweek.com/openwindow/story/NWW19990611S0005>;

The author (David Cartwright) is quite complimentary towards FreeBSD.
He explains the differences between stable and current versions.

	"Finally, release 4.0 is described (fairly honestly)
	 by the makers as 'bleeding edge' and is mainly for people with
	 too much time on their hands who like playing with new toys."

Yes, I know that 4.0 isn't a release.  He will soon! He also finds out
about the ports.

	"In terms of applications, the word 'shedloads' springs to
	 mind."

In the final paragraph, he invites comments about whether you chose
Linux over FreeBSD or vice versa and why.  He can be mailed at
dsc@cmp.com (oh to have an email address that short again!).

Please feel free to let him know why you think FreeBSD is a good thing
(particularly why it improves on Linux) for you.  I think I shall extol
the joys of cvsup and a truely integrated system to him...  Someone else
might like to explain how you can run all your Linux binary only apps
under our excellent emulation.
