May we have your permission to pillage it for content? Specifically, we could recreate several different versions: the all-inclusive sheet, as you have the comparison for developers the comparison for newbies the comparison for suits FreeBSD vs. Linux FreeBSD vs. Windows FreeBSD vs. Solaris etc. Greg suggested dividing our approach for various different people, and the document should reflect whatever structure we agree upon. This would both simplify it, and let advocates choose the documents they need for their purposes. > doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/os-comparison.sgml > www/en/marketing/os-comparison.sgml I think this should be part of the www tree. IMHO www is more promotional, while people expect doc/ to be more instructional. > You can certainly link to it from the marketing website you're > putting together on blackhelicopters.org.
