I doubt it is, sadly. The "real world" (i.e., everything not on the Web) doesn't see much in print about BSD. This needs to change before we see a BSD mag. Remember, publishing houses half dismiss the Web, and half quake in their boots over it. While DN publishes some very high-quality pieces, it (from real-world POV) doesn't count nearly as much as the same number of articles in print would. Moral of the story: do things the hard way, submit BSD articles to print magazines. They're not nearly as nice to work with as the web ones, but that's what we *need*. Also, if anyone does start a print magazine, I want a column. :) ==ml -- Michael Lucas mwlucas@blackhelicopters.org http://www.blackhelicopters.org/~mwlucas/ Big Scary Daemons: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/q/Big_Scary_Daemons To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
