An Open Call for Help. August 03, 2000 I wrote this article due to frustrations I see in the strides that BSD is making. I would like to see more growth, but I do not have the resouces in both time and money to bring this to fruition, so I hope that someone out there agrees with my views of what needs to be done for BSD to grow, and is willing to help.

We have also adopted phpShop as our shopping cart system. The mall has a new look and we are fully operational. We currently have CD sets available for all the major BSDs. Our goal here is to create a strong market for BSD goods and services. Through cylogistics, resellers can easily get their products into the BSD market. Daemon News provides the retail outlet to get products to as large a BSD audience as possible. If you are looking for BSD products, this is the place. If we don't have it, and it runs on BSD, let us know and we will get it. If you have a BSD product that you need to get into the BSD sector, let us help you get it out there. If you are looking to retail BSD items, Cylogistics can get them to you. This is a great opportunity to build the BSD marketshare.

This problem began when the "From" address on outgoing Security Advisory mails was changed, but these two (closed-posting) mailing lists were not updated with the new address. This has now been corrected and advisories should again become available through all four official sources: freebsd-announce@FreeBSD.org freebsd-security-notifications@FreeBSD.org freebsd-security@FreeBSD.org http://www.freebsd.org/security.html Advisories are also submitted to the bugtraq@securityfocus.com mailing list at time of publication, although this is an external mailing list and FreeBSD has no control over its publication content. We apologise for the inconvenience and suggest that all users consult the list of recently-released advisories at the above website to confirm that they have not missed any of relevance to them.
