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. -- Dom Mitchell -- Palmer & Harvey McLane -- Unix Systems Administrator "Always think very hard before messing with TCP.
