Sorry the PERCEPTION is that we either don't exist or we are dying by virtue of Linux growing acceptance. The FreeBSD group or culture with respect to marketing has stayed the same since its inceptions any attempt to change for better or worse is bound to fail due to its mature resilient nature. We could take this argument to the linux usenet advocacy list or an nt advocacy list given that probably very few outside of FreeBSD ever read this mailing list. At any rate, I admire Brett for its stamina we just got to find a common ground to have him maket FreeBSD. HINT: He *IS* smart and can be a very powerful resource;however, I bet that is easier to bury and scare him away . My closing remark: Not too long ago I attended a dinner with some of my friends . They ask me what I thought of Linux so I explained my fundamental issue with Linux : The GPL. Their response: Oh my God! They simply didn't know about GPL . What is sad is that their company, SGI is endorsing Linux.
