FreeBSD has always had (in serious circles, anyway), a careful, stable image because it has been maintained by hoary old codgers like Jordan. He's even starting to get crabby and crotchety! If you look at the LinuxWorld article back in December, you'll note the almost reverent attitude the authors have towards FreeBSD. If you talk to Linuxen older than spoiled-brat age, you'll get the same attitude. We see it more and more in the press we are getting, even in rabid Linux pubs anbd e-zines. As long as we don't descend to their level, especially in public forums like IW Electric and ZDnet, we will maintain this. Sure, Linux is gaining market share. So is BSD. What counts is that WE'VE made the right choice, and WE can make our systems run rings around anybody else's. WE should get busy proving it. The name (and Beastie) have a proud history of success. Let's add to it! To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
