Slashdot posts information about code freezes/beta releases/kernels of the day of Linux distributions.

Some of the /. admins at least do seem to make an effort to approve BSD stories, we can make it statistically easier for them by giving them more articles :-) Kris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
