In fact, it's a translation of "UNIX or BSD?" from the June Daemon News (http://www.daemonnews.org/199906/d-advocate.html). You'll note my name at the end on page 81. > There are some other things about FreeBSD too, but I am not able to > tell what it means :) The other main articles are a translation of "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" on page 16 and "ISDN Networking" on page 56. > If anyone speaks Russian well, check it out. Well, that eliminates me :-) But the only other stuff I saw were short news articles on page 91: an ad for the FreeBSDCon, information about reorganizations in NetBSD and the release of 1.4.1 and something about OpenBSD which I don't understand enough to quote. One thing that does impress me about the magazine is the technical detail, which I haven't seen in a US magazine for decades. They also give a surprising amount of attention to UNIX. The magazine is 96 pages, including all ads, and 22 of them are about UNIX. There's an almost total lack of Microsoft (just a single, albeit rather long, article about setting up TCP/IP on Windoze). Very refreshing.
