<RANT MODE> OK folks, let me make this clear, GET A CLUE!! The endless bickering between a minority of the Linux and FreeBSD communities is completely counter-productive. Positioning FreeBSD against Linux is about as useful as getting a job for the Microsoft PR department as far as getting the real goals achieved. 1) FreeBSD developments have helped the Linux community. 2) Linux developments have helped the FreeBSD community. 3) FSF developments have helped both communities. Let's keep it that way, and work off each other's strengths, instead of picking apart each other's weaknesses. We should be making allies of the Linux community and encourage them to make allies of us. FreeBSD and Linux can complement each other. We should be working to that end. Just a silly thought to put into you heads, have you ever thought that just maybe, the instigators of many of these arguments in public forums just might be professional Microsoft evangelists ? We might be playing right into their hands. Does the idea of "Divide and conquer" come to mind? </RANT MODE> And now back to our regularly scheduled program, "The Golden Age of Ballooning." -Ken Stox stox@fnal.gov stox@imagescape.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
