I read a few messages saying that FreeBSD should stick to being a robust 'Server OS', but I disagree entirely. I believe the direction of FreeBSD should be attacking both scenes, desktop and server. We will not recieve third party support, in the form of software, if we do not prove ourselfs as being the best, or near-best, OS for a workstation desktop. I recall earlier posts from people talking about wanting to get Corel to make freebsd-native programs, this will not happen unless we develop a name for FreeBSD in the desktop OS arena if we are to go into combat with other platforms for software makers to port. GUI is the key to the desktop front, we need to focus more attention at it, and we are beginning to do that. I am going to take action on my previous idea about the commercial unix website, that will focus on bringing companys to the light of FreeBSD, when I finish a current project that myself and two other people are working on to help spread FreeBSD advocacy. I have recieved several emails about the idea, and plan to launch the site sometime in the next few months. -- Phillip Salzman http://saten.dyn.ml.org/ " I think of you as a person..." <- Bad Comment To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
