Last night, I read an article in April's (2001) Dr. Dobb's Journal about Linux. This article used the L-word to describe software and environments that are definitely not limited to just Linux. The column also said "the only viable alternative to using Windows on the x86 platform is Linux". (The author didn't explain "viable", but he did share some of his Linux goals and needs.) I know that DDJ has actively covered BSD in the past, but I am surprised that articles in recent issues imply (and assume) that Linux-based operating systems are the only or main operating systems to be built upon open source and free software; in addition, some DDJ articles seem to imply that Linux is the only or main alternative OS. I am looking for some people to review my "letter to the (DDJ) editor". This letter says there are other alternatives and quickly explains a few important and interesting facts about BSD. If you are interested in reading and providing feedback on my letter (before I mail it), please send me an email off-list. Thanks, Jeremy C.
