They do help one another, though not perhaps from their similarity so much as the fact that the lines of demarcation simply aren't drawn among the free software advocates. As far as major market share is concerned, the lines are drawn between the free software advocates and the rest of the commercial world right now, and every convert Linux wins away from NT is one more convert on the closer side of the line. >From that point on, getting them to look at our stuff becomes about 100X easier than it was before, believe me. If nothing else, they're now reading slashdot instead of NT Focus and we get mentioned in slashdot all the time. :-) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
