One of the targets I think we should pursue (and can reasonably hope to have success in) is getting FreeBSD into the Byte Web Project. I myself got to know FreeBSD from Jordan's article in Byte about a year ago. For those of you who don't read it, the Web Project is a series of articles (all in http://www.byte.com, check it out) that describe Jon Udell's personal experience in setting up and maintaining the Byte web site. >From what I remember, he started out with an NT and a BSDI server. Later on he continued with just NT, but lately added Linux, mostly due to readers complaining about Linux (and other UNIX-style OSs) being left out of the game. I don't know how to approach him (perhaps Jordan can, as they've already published an article he wrote), but this could really be made to point out the excellent networking code and stability that FreeBSD takes pride for. Having FreeBSD mentioned in Jon Udell's "Tools watch" will surely introduce many new people to it.
