Currently, many of my peers are completely unaware of How about starting local user groups? :) I'm doing it.... Take a clue from the Linux people, have local install-a-thons... I have one tentavily scheduled in July... Expound upon the abilities of FreeBSD to anyone who will listen. Again, follow the lead of the Linux people, put FreeBSD boxes in your IS department to take over mission critical applications. At my current job I'm working on not only moving our servers from Novell/NT to FreeBSD, BUT I'm working on porting our industry specific software from Win95/98/DOS to FreeBSD.... Which will add another selling point to our software and give us increased compatibility... :) Luckily my bosses are of the 'do what you want, just as long as it dosen't cost us money' mentallity. :) Rick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
