Brett & Greg - I am also sending this directly to you, I did not know if you
were on advocacy.

>Dear All,
>    I applaud your efforts at supporting free software. As many of us know,
>free software is the backbone of the Internet.
>    I must admit that I feel cheated that your show had no mention of
>FreeBSD, a free version of the UNIX system, similar to Linux. I use FreeBSD
>and feel it is a more stable operating system. Yahoo! and CDROM.COM (Walnut
>Creek CD-ROM) must agree because they use it on their heavily used site.
>    Would it be possible to mention that it was left out of your show? Was
>there any particular reason FreeBSD was not mentioned?
>    Thank  you for your time.
>
>Sincerely,
>David
