I see FreeBSD's continued failure to emerge into the limelight, in contrast with Linux's runaway success, as the result of serious problems in public relations, promotion, and advocacy. In particular, Jordan Hubbard's refusal to acknowledge his own shortcomings as a PR person, as well as WHAT WORKS, are to blame. Linux's success and FreeBSD's failure could have devastating long-term consequences in the computing world due to the promulgation of the GPL and Richard Stallman's destructive agenda. Thus, Jordan's actions stand to harm not only FreeBSD but the industry at large. --Brett Glass "You're not just e-mailing her, you're e-mailing anyone she's ever e-mailed." -- Dayton Daily News Cartoonist Mike Peters on the "Melissa virus" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
