I beg to differ. Okay, it's not print but... http://www.daemonnews.org/199810/deskbsd.html has me talking about how FreeBSD makes a great workstation/desktop for scientists/researchers. Of course my machine also acts as a server and works great. :-) I do think we could push to be more visible in the science/research desktop area because the tools that most of us in this area use (LaTeX, C, Fortran etc) are all available. Heck there's even a biology section in the ports! :-) I'm not saying abandon the server though. :-) Brett *********************************************************** Brett Taylor brett@peloton.physics.montana.edu * brett@daemonnews.org * * http://www.daemonnews.org/ * *********************************************************** To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
