Load X-Windows, Star Office or Applix and make it look flashy so that people ask what it is. Once they're aware of it, load Samba on it and start mapping Windows drives to it. Keep all your inportant files on it. 'Oh, just a sec, let me go get it off my FreeBSD machine.' Show people what you've done with it. You'll get a few others interested in it and together you can slowly get familiar enough with it that someday someone senior enough can say. 'Well, lets save you $XXXXX amount by using FreeBSD instead of Windows 3000 Service Pack 17' :) Rick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
