Is it now time for FreeBSD Inc.? Slashdot has a story about Intel and Netscape investing in the Red Hat Linux operation... according to ZDNET! http://www.slashdot.org/articles/98/09/25/2150250.shtml which points to: http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/zdnn_smgraph_display/0,4436,2142107,00.html Just an opinion -- not a flame: Perhaps some enterprising type will finally come up with a commercially supported FreeBSD in the near future. I'm not sure if it's something Walnut Creek will back, or some group of folks who resell FreeBSD based products in some kind of joint funding or consortium. We've got the better software, but are losing both the mindshare and investments that we could be getting. Imagine both Intel and Netscape dropping some $$ into FreeBSD and FreeBSD versions of their products. (Hell, I'd even be willing to see Microsoft invest in FreeBSD's future in enterprise sites, and growth and applications...) Anyone going to be at ISPcon San Jose to see this? Bill stuck on the East Coast, missing the fun and even LISA this year. +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Bill and/or Carolyn Pechter | pechter@shell.monmouth.com | | Bill Gates is a Persian cat and a monocle away from being a villain in | | a James Bond movie -- Dennis Miller | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
