Well, this is wrong list for this but: NO! FreeBSD is just starting to grow. We are picking up momentum. How do I know? I my humanities class last semester three other people knew what freebsd was and they weren't CS major. I don't mind helping Linux if it is Linux vs MS thing. But I will not promote Linux if it hurts FreeBSD. I do believe in promoting Linux ONLY BECAUSE is is part of free software and free software movement is something I belive in. But FreeBSD is also part of it and I like BSD more then Linux (personally). That is all. There are a lot of commercial apps for FreeBSD. AccelX, Netscape (they had one before they release the source), Blender, this list can go on. The point is, if we give up, the we won't see ANY apps. We have to keep bugging vendors until THEY give up. We can't stop. Especially not now when we are picking up speed and mass as an OS. -- Yan Jan Koum jkb@best.com | "Turn up the lights; I don't want www.FreeBSD.org -- The Power to Serve | to go home in the dark." ---------------------------------------+----------------------------------- ICMP: What happens when you hack into a military network and they catch you.
