Still, I think the original article is of a quite reasonable quality and certainly deserves to be mentioned under "In the media" on www.freebsd.org. Who do I need to contact for this? Other valid questions that I often hear asked are of course "Why do you -still- use FreeBSD?" and "Why are you moving away from FreeBSD?". A discussion on the latter (and what to do about) it was conducted a bit out-of-place on arch@ starting last August: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-arch/2011-August/011412.html Up to now I have not seen a clear opinion or point-of-view stated by the FreeBSD project "as-a-project", but I still see FreeBSD being phased out by diverse entities at a fast pace, in application areas where it traditionally was very strong (web, mail, etc.). Kind regards, Hans
