CompUSA circulars often advertise the FreeBSD Power Pack in their section under the heading of "Linux Distributions" along with Red Hat and Corel. I actually considered mentioning the technical incorrectness of this to someone at CompUSA but on further consideration decided that it wasn't necessarily a bad thing. I don't mind seeing FreeBSD riding the coattails of Linux's increased popularity. Besides, when someone moderately technical asks me what FreeBSD is, I'm very likely to mention Linux somewhere in my explanation. My own first knowledge of FreeBSD came as a result of looking into various Linux distributions. --Chip Morton At 08:21 PM 3/29/2001, Brett Glass wrote: >Yep, they sure know their stuff.
