Hi, I work for a ISP company, which now uses FreeBSD 2.05R exclusively (of course under my influence 8-). We used to use Linux. Whatever it is/was/will be, it was never stable and, even worse, was vulnerable to the outside attack. We like 2.05R for its stability (though crashed several times due to the disk quota bug). Now here comes the embarrassment : when other ISP friends come to visit us, they would ask what hardware/software we are using. We told them the hardware was PC. So, they would quickly ask :" Ah, with Linux ?" I would proudly say "No. FreeBSD !!" They would stare me and asked more : "What system ? " Sometimes I even had to explain the royal history of FreeBSD to them, which usually gave them more confusion. From time to time, some friends of mine would ask me what OS I am running. I would say FreeBSD, and usually they knew only Linux. But, for an ISP friend, it was even more embarrassing. Do you have any experience how to deal with this situation ? Yen-Wei Liu
