Look at Andreas' links, there are a number of articles out there that mention FreeBSD right alongside Solaris and AIX as viable platforms for _enterprise_ software. I think we should concentrate more on our software and ease-of-CLI-use and our demo tools. Don't panic, just write code. You've got to remember the mentality of the newsgroup surfer. He's a lot different than InfoWorld's print readership. Most of those who're responding to your posts are teenage surfers with nothing better to do. Even Joe Dad or Joe CEO -- who're serious contenders for our business -- won't go there. How many _real_software_writers_ like John Dyson or Amancio Hasty post responses to your posts??? There are some threads on these lists that are getting just as religious. Nobody wins, because we all waste bandwidth reading it and nobody is learning or writing code here. I don't like losing, so end of my input. I've got too much to learn. :)))) --> Don To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
