And it is true to some extent because mostly FreeBSD users are more technical then Linux users and tend to try and solve problems on their own. I agree with you that we need more participation and simply noise to stand out in the computer world. Look, everyone complains about Windows and see how popular that is. Ok, I am going to walk down the hallway and scream something about FreeBSD now. Yeah, that's it. *grin* -- Yan Jan Koum jkb@best.com | "Turn up the lights; I don't want www.FreeBSD.org -- The Power to Serve | to go home in the dark." Linux -- DOS of the Unix world.
