The crowd will be around 50-60 people. As far as basic facts and functions of FBSD will be no problem. However, I was told that a few of the regular's are "linux fanactix", or people who will "argue" over everything. I was asked to give this talk to expose the group to FreeBSD, I don't want to deal with the "linuxfacists" arguing every aspect of why linux is better or not. Does any one have some tips and or info I should mention other then your basic breakdown of the os that will help me at least put a good "foot hold" in with FBSD and leave less area's open to attack? I would rather during the open forum that the only thing they can justify linux being better's is mostly based on thier "personal preference" I have "sent to be by a nice guy on this list" som hand outs, one of which is the NT vs. Linux vs. Freebsd sheet. What im looking for is other informatiuon that I can mention to show why the OS we use is also holds its own. I hate giving talks so I want to be ready. -- +--------------------------+---------------------------+ | Robert Skinner | skinner@skinner.org | +--------------------------+---------------------------+ | Skinner's Personal Ego | http://www.skinner.org | +--------------------------+---------------------------+ Sanity is the trademark of a weak mind. -- Mark Harrold To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
