We could do something like this on the site - It would be good if you could get someone to write a printable paper, periodically maintained , scattered with URLs, called something like "BSD V. Linux - A Comparison" (preferably not "FreeBSD V. Linux") Printable both as A4 for rest of world, & USA size too. Last year our Munich BSD club had a stand at an exhibition for a week, & the most frequent question was "What is BSD ?" Fortunately we had a leaflet: http://bim.bsn.com/leaflet/ Next most frequent question was "How does BSD compare to Linux ?". When visitors come too fast to answer individually, one needs a leaflet. Could someone find time to write one (I'm too busy planning a future BSD conference for Munich, http://bim.bsn.com/conf/ ) The leaflet should be factual & balanced, not rabid, Linux is OK too, & we want Linux (& other) people to read the leaflet & be tempted to try BSD, we don't want to incite Linux people to try to lynch BSD leaflet distributors :-) Less need for a "BSD V. MS" leaflet, less deirable to recruit M$ zombies. Julian Stacey jhs @ berklix.com Computer Sys. Eng. & Unix Consultant, Munich Ihr Rauchen = mein allergischer Kopfschmerz ! Schnupftabak probieren.
