It was a very favorable article. The reason why I'm mentioning this again is because the few comments generated about this article on their "posts" section toward the end of the article. Currently there are six postings. Pretty sad when you compare it to articles written about Linux which receive tons of favorable comments from Linux users. I was hoping to generate the same kind of response from the BSD community. It's not always that BSD gets mentioned in the press (even if it's an online magazine) and perhaps we should promote, show our appreciation, and speak favorably about our beloved OS. The Linux community tend to be very outspoken about their OS (sometimes that can be a bad thing), which generates alot of interest from new users, media, and the press. That's the one thing that they have over us. Perhaps in the future that will change. So if you're interested, take a couple of minutes and let people know that BSD is everything that author made it out tobe and much much more. Thanks for listening.
