All that URL did was talk about Linux, linux, linux. :Linux this and Linux that ... I'm quite sure that FreeBSD could hold its own :against Linux on the same hardware. It would sure be cool to be able to :steal some of the PR on this.

Even informally, I'd like to know, I'm sure others would too. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
