I'm not sure where you get your market demographics, but at least in Japan, FreeBSD is on par with Linux in popularity. If we had even half of the success in the US that we've enjoyed in Japan, then we'd be a lot further along in mindshare. But all of this speaks to the past and doesn't consider what may be ahead. It's true that BSD in general has sucked at marketing. One of the primary goals with the new company is to change that. In time we'll know if this was just wishful thinking. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project - http://www.freebsd.org Creator of high-performance Internet servers - http://www.terasolutions.com Pave the road of life with opportunities.
