The only magazine I've found with "content" is Sys Admin, plus harder-core ones like Dr. Dobbs. And since I seem to be the FreeBSD representative to SA magazine, I will readily admit to bias. > People seem to be all happy if such an article accidentally proposes > some points they agree with, but that doesn't make the journalism > any better. If this is the best that US magazines can do, then we in the US need to make it happen more often. This is a step in the right direction: a chunk of brightly-colored crap amidst a sea of dull brown sewage. God help us, ZDnet is fairly well respected by technical managers in the US. And they're pretty pro-M$. The page that says "FreeBSD is the web server, hands down, no questions asked," should be bookmarked and loaded into the US advocate's cannon. Those of you in countries where people are expected to actually *think*, well, you have harder work cut out for you. ;) ==ml To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
