When soliciting exposure, we should be positive in our approach. I like the idea of asking them to take an interest in our operating system of choice, however, backing them into a corner with accusations is certianly not going to convince them to consider it. Next time lets try a more positive view.. I am currently working on a paper for the rag... supporting a Problem Queueing system for SA's and ISP's. Most of the development was done on FreeBSD and I am going to try to emphasize that in my article. -branson -branson -- ============================================================================= Branson Matheson | Ferguson Enterprises | If Pete and Repeat were System Administrator | W: (804) 874-7795 | sittin on a fence and Pete Unix, Perl, WWW | branson@widomaker.com | fell off, who is left?
