Too bad I don't get ZDTV anymore (stupid building in the way of my satellite! :( ) Guessing from the coverage we have converted at least one of the Screensavers hosts. Leo Laporte was a stauch Linux advocate, but we may have snagged him or Kate Botello. Needless to say with (somewhat) popular personalities behind FreeBSD I expect 3.3 CD sales to be brisk :) (yes, I've actually watched the show.. it's halfway decent if you go do something else while they're helping the Windows weenies. They do cater to non-Windows systems though, a welcome change in the mass media.)
