If you aren't familier enough with something to evaluate it, you shouldn't review it. Just as I wouldn't write a review of Mac OSX at the moment, simply because I have little to no experence using it. Nor would I write one about Kylin BSD, since as far as I can tell, if its released, its been released in Chinese first. If someone is only semi-familiar with something, as part of their review, they need to spend the time to become familier. I've done plenty of evaluations of software for customers of mine, and I certainly don't just go through the install process, say "This sucks" and move on to the next product. I'm aware writing a review is incredibly difficult, however, I would suggest that one simply not write a review, if they are unwilling, or unable to meet the standard required by the technical audience their review is targeted at. --- Harrison Grundy _______________________________________________ freebsd-advocacy@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-advocacy To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
