I think it's long past time to update the old 'FreeBSD vs Linux vs Windows 2000' flyer available at : http://www.FreeBSD.org/~murray/OS.pdf One problem with this document is that it really doesn't fit into the mold of other content we provide in doc/ or www/, though that is clearly where it belongs. If we can get it into a text based format somewhere that we can all update then I'm sure the content will be improved rapidly. To date this document has mostly been distributed in print form. Perhaps someone could volunteer to TeX it like Marc's existing freebsd-flyer and import it as : doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/flyers/os-comparison Alternatively, we could maintain it just as an HTML based table in : www/en/marketing/os-comparison.html I guess the decision really comes down to how nicely a TeX version can be made to look. If the answer is not that nicely, then I think maintaining an HTML version makes the most sense and then having an artist manually import it into Quark once in a while to make a nice PDF version. Thoughts? Volunteers? Other technical solutions for maintaining this content besides the two mentioned above? - Murray ----- Forwarded message from Fafa Hafiz Krantz <fteg@london.com> ----- From: "Fafa Hafiz Krantz" <fteg@london.com> Subject: FreeBSD vs. Linux vs. Windows 2000 To: murray@freebsd.org Date: Fri, 06 May 2005 13:50:58 -0500 Hello! I am a FreeBSD advocate as well as identity designer. And I am a great fan of your BSD Flier; it has become the authoritative document for explaining FreeBSD's superiority. Due to its old age, however, it is loosing its credibility. Would you be interested in conducting a new comparison of equal nature -- with up to date facts? I will do everything in my power to format it into a neat and professional document. Please say yes :) -- Fafa Hafiz Krantz Research Designer @ http://www.bleed.no -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm ----- End forwarded message ----- ----- End forwarded message -----
