The last couple of days have been a moment of great disturbance for me. I've posted comments that were mainly against the quality of the FreeBSD distribution; added to it my personal preferences of what the distribution should be and eventually where it should head toward in future. This has stirred much tension in the FreeBSD community, boiling to the point it finally snapped and eventual generation of topics that were simply irrelevant to the forum. My original intent, of course, wasn't to put down the quality of FreeBSD distribution for I'm one of the die hard fan of it, but merely to bring forth what can be done about the recent performance benchmark result done against Linux, Windows 2000 and Solaris. But, who am I to bring forth such matter to the table? I'm just a user benefiting from the hard work of the FreeBSD developers, all for free! As one of the leading FreeBSD developers, Jordan Hubbard, put it, the only stumbling block that I've stumbled upon was my own lack of good communications skills. I could be trying to tell the world the secret elixir of life and the world still wouldn't understand! I'm not a computer programmer nor am I familiar with much of the pioneers in such field of study. But, I've always admired the two of the well known figures in the open source community, Jordan Hubbard and Linus Torvalds. I haven't personally met Mr. Torvalds; at least not yet. However, I did receive personal email responses from Mr. Hubbard during this ordeal. Reading his comments, I've come to know that this indeed is a man of great quality and respect. I love FreeBSD. I will continuously use it and even support the project someday. Knowing that one of the developers is a man of great quality and respect makes it even sweeter to look forward the future releases of the distribution, FreeBSD. Yours sincerely, Sung N.
