Today, NPR's "Talk of the Nation" discussed alternative operating systems (see http://www.npr.org/programs/totn/archives/1998/980724.totn.html for an overview and a RealAudio archive). But while they discussed Linux and BeOS, FreeBSD wasn't mentioned as an option. James Love (assistant to Ralph Nader) and Nick Petreley (InfoWorld columnist) know darn well that FreeBSD exists, but talked exclusively about Linux.... Listeners most likely got the impression that Linux was THE only freely distributed OS. This sucks rocks. What's the best way to get such people to acknowledge FreeBSD's existence? --Brett Glass To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
