I spoke with my contact at gateway today. He said he has left messages with Bob Bruce about the status of the FreeBSD certification, but has received no word. He has collected ~60 e-mail related to FreeBSD for gateway, with some possible duplication. However he is planning on grouping them up and sending them to corporate headquarters along with the certification stuff. He has distributed several CDs to Gateway, and when customers call up and ask for Linux, he tells them that FreeBSD is available and gives them a CD. I would like to move this project along, with the help of the advocacy list. I didn't see Gateway listed on our advocacy page. We should list them as 'FreeBSD Certified Hardware' and put a link to http://www.gateway.com/corp/eseries/e52_500/ He would like to get the lower end Server line certified also and that will take some special driver writing. So lets get this project moved along. E-mail Fritz Fitzgibbons, my gateway rep, at fitzgfri@gateway.com if you haven't already to let them know you would like to see FreeBSD offered at gateway. We already have one salesman converted. They are driven by customer demand, lets show a little. -Chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
