Hi, I didn't see this in -chat, however they have shown a lot more public signs of being linux-aware (with lots of interesting software). Whistle OTOH, has grown based on FreeBSD and has made constant contributions. I don't think this will be a Linux vs. BSD confrontation and I doubt that our well known hackers in Whistle communications will (or can) stop using FreeBSD, however I don't know enough about IBM to know if they will add to FreeBSD like Whistle has done. Only time will tell, I guess... Pedro. Brett Taylor wrote: > > Hi, > ... > > In an earlier thread, I think in -chat, it was noted that Netcraft had a > list of what big "developers" were using.
