There's no link (at least, I couldn't find one) to www.freebsdmall.com from www.bsdi.com (or www.wrs.com). The FreeBSD web page/handbook includes links to other suppliers under "Getting FreeBSD", but not to www.freebsdmall.com. So it's not obvious how someone unaware of freebsdmall is to learn about its existence. I think the comment is quite valid, in any case. Why isn't FreeBSD listed in the main product listing at www.wrs.com, when 83 other products are? > > To add insult to injury, I got an email from windriver apologizing for > > the 'slow' response to freebsd orders blaming their sluggishness on bsdi's > > ordering system. > > How do you know that's not the plain truth? > > > Has anyone checked to see if these clowns are owned by microsoft? > > I wouldn't stoop so low as to call you an idiot in a public forum, but > I'd have a hard time contradicting anyone who did. How to make friends and increase the userbase. Methinks many people are excessively touchy about any WindRiver-related question.
