Kudos for both interviewer and Jordan not to fall in this trap. The Linux guy kept trying to weasel out of the questions, while Jordan answered them straight-forward. > If anything it made the guy from VA Linux look bad because out of > the three people ( Linux, FreeBSD, and the interviewer ), the linux guy > was the only one who spent large amounts of timing bashing. ( Of course > NT bashing is open to all :-) I think that anyone not biased would end up seeing FreeBSD on a better light, for the sole reason that Jordan was more, err, likable. :-) But, then again, I'm biased. I'd really like to hear what unbiased people thought... Hey, can we slashdot this? Or was it slashdotted already? (And, if so, what's the link?) I have had things accepted to slashdot before, so I think I can _succesfully_ submit it. :-) Just send the link again if anyone is interested. -- Daniel C.
