> You would rather that Linux wasn't growing, and that everyone was > sticking with WindowsNT? Yep, I'm getting tired of all the rabid Linux weenies in the univerisity here (esp. the CS dept). I'm probably around more of them due to the student/university setting I'm in. I think BSD can win people over from NT, so I don't see the need to go thru Linux to get market share. Also, for what I do in my research lab, I often have to port things written on Linux to BSD, Solaris, SunOS, and Irix. I'm quite tired of the totally non-portable stuff that Linux perpetrates with its NIH syndrome. Network headers being the worst. Frankly, I just assume see Linux die. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.ucdavis.edu -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
