Faulhaber - jedgar@fxp.org - jedgar@FreeBSD.org > -------------------------------------------------------- > FreeBSD: The Power To Serve - http://www.FreeBSD.org there is a post already on slashdot (posted on april 2, not april fools' day), confirming the move to freebsd-5.0-current. here is the link: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=3D01/04/02/0326237&mode=3Dthread also, i find it hard to believe that a company that supports open source software and, therefore, the freedom it gives users to choose whichever software base he/she sees fit, would oppose a move to freebsd - or any other open source alternative for that matter. personally, i think that if va blocks slashdot from moving to freebsd (independently of the story being true or not), it will be a bad strategic move on their part. -- marcelo cardoso martinelli mmartinelli@bigfoot.com / marcelo@hvymtl.org --0OAP2g/MAC+5xKAE Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE6yMJaLbA1bZ5Ju+wRAkP3AKDFYb8wJrIkUa5IC+a+5bSmddDaXgCfdhZz jT1p+OTN2TBnSroFyu+xU9I= =KfDI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --0OAP2g/MAC+5xKAE-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
