Now, Jordan, THERE's a logical argument that's going to lead to productive discourse. Not. :-( Frank and I are not the only people who perceive that FreeBSD is plagued by a lack of investment in marketing. Walnut Creek doesn't seem willing to make that investment. Now, what would you have us do? Sit back and let FreeBSD lose out to Linux? Break away from Walnut Creek by publishing another version, thereby fragmenting the market and, possibly, development efforts? Neither is a better alternative than getting Walnut Creek off its duff, but the latter may be necessary if we don't see things change soon. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
