You bet... Just before yesterday I had a stupid discussion on IRC
channel with few Linux-crazy-fans and must admin - with no
success. 8( Stupidly enough, it wasn't discussion about technical
advantages/disadvantages of two systems (such kind of conversation
is common and usually very interesting), but I tried to convince
them that FreeBSD is not a dying system!
Actually, as I found out later the most active opponent was exactly
20 years old (it was his birthday a day before 8). Hence he can be
treated as a young maximalist. 8) But he is of that kind of people
who will be making decisions in real business soon. Even more, this
one is a holder of rather big Linux-dedicated news site and thus
can have serious influence on others...
What I'm saying here: whatever you see around you, advocacy is
always necessary. As it is told in Carrol's 'Through the looking
glass': 'Now, HERE, you see, it takes all the running YOU can do,
to keep in the same place.' 8) So, 'run, Forrest, run!' or lose...
