I for one would like to try it. Just don't have the $495. Moreover many of the other things you have as separate products should probably be integrated. For instance the space reclamation utility should not be separate (my opinion). >We'd make this offer for a limited time. It might be two weeks or so. Too short. You need some time for people to see the ad. If you are concerned about too many people getting copies then just make a determined number of copies available (i.e. the first 50 to respond). Depending on how the offer goes you may want to extend it by having a discount instead of free. I am sure many FreeBSD users would like to try your database, just don't have the money. >Are you interested? I think that it would be helpful to have ads in www.freebsd.org for vendors that support FreeBSD. Newcomers may not even know about the "gallery" section for a while. If they saw ads with a little subheader like: "Support FreeBSD friendly vendors. See Gallery for list" This would be an indication that there are companies putting resources to develop FreeBSD software and/or running their operations (i.e. ISPs) on FreeBSD.
