That's about the level of stupidity and > laziness involved. Unfortunately, mentioning this is counter-productive when said in possible future client meetings...;-) Oh yeah, it's true. Too true. But what can you do? We need these people to survive... Perhaps...keep freebsd.org as it is, but build freebsd.com as the commercial/upper-management-tailored/abstracted from technical/whizz-bang site... I dunno. I just know it'd be easier to sell, if people were impressed from first glance. Seems shallow, yes, but might work?, maybe. Has anyone got better sales-tips, not tuned for sysadmins?
