i dont know, here in the bible belt, i would be cautious of advertising
a product with a cute lil devil guy as the mascot (read the forward in
the freebsd handbook... i woudlnt be the first to worry). penguins are
much nicer
aside from that nonsense, linux is supposed to be a desktop os, not
freebsd, freebsd is industrial strength goodness. i wish it would all
work, but i dont wanna explain how to use ports to someone who normally
uses aol... ("you do what to the sourcecode?").
aside from that, one of the best sites on the net was pointed out to me
the other day in irc... http://www.linuxforbitches.com ... check it
out.. but dont kill me
