I believe the way to get people to know FreeBSD is more likely to get FreeBSD articles in magazines like Linux Magazine in the US, or Germany etc. Sometimes you can find articles there, but it's often to few. Somebody else mentioned writing white papers for business level. This may be a way to push easier FreeBSD at corporate level. Means, you are the sysadmin, going with a nice white paper to your CTO, sort of. > Also i hear a lot of people complaining that the VA-software sponsored > sites like slashdot and such are extremely anti-BSD.
