Re: Permission to Distribute OS and Demon Logo
The overwhelming majority of argentine PC users run un-licensed Microsoft Sytems and software. The remainder have licenses or use Linux. FreeBSD is unknown to the average PC user. For the desktop pc, check out: http://www.desktopbsd.org/ http://www.pcbsd.org/ Both are using FreeBSD as the OS. DesktopBSD uses KDE for GUI desktop. I just started using dektopbsd and really like it, although I have been using FreeBSD on a separate machine for about a year now. The install for desktopBSD could get any easier.

Re: Permission to Distribute OS and Demon Logo
Hello from Buenos Aires, Argentina! Hello from the USA. My name is Carmen Chase and I request your permission to distribute FreeBSD ports, use the BSD Demon, and links to the manuals downloads sites. Our objective is to locally promote and generalize FreeBSD as end users - not criticize other systems, or profit from FreeBSD. Let me explain: As far as I know, you do not need additional permission just to distribute FreeBSD and related materials. The official policy is that FreeBSD is free and can be distributed freely as long as the copyright information is included. Check the copyright information on the FreeBSD web site. If you wish to create an official mirror site for FreeBSD, then you should look for information on creating and operating a mirror on the web site and possibly talk to people (Email) about that. I believe there is actually already one FreeBSD mirror site in Argentina. I don't have a browser handy at the moment, but I think the address is: ftp.ar.freebsd.org and the CVSup address is: cvsup.ar.freebsd.org All this seems to run on a machine called: gaucho.ar.freebsd.org I don't think there is a problem having an additional mirror site but my suggestion would be to check with the people running the existing mirror on gaucho.ar.freebsd.org and maybe they can help. FreeBSD will be a good thing in Argentina. Good luck, jerry The overwhelming majority of argentine PC users run un-licensed Microsoft Sytems and software. The remainder have licenses or use Linux. FreeBSD is unknown to the average PC user. Although efforts are being made to control piracy, the vast majority of final users cannot afford microsoft licences. In terms of local purchasing power, windows XP would cost the equivalent of $1500 us dollars in the US market. Meanwhile, PC usage continues to grow by leaps and bounds. Over the last few years our family have increasingly used FreeBSD, consider it a grand solution and greatly admire your organization and acheivements. In fact, we would like to see FreeBSD generalized amongst the millions of argentine users and small businesses. To achieve this objective, we are considering a simple non-profit web site, with a help section, history section, forum, bulletin boards, jobs/help wanted, links, videos clips demonstrating the system, etc... and request your permision to use the Demon Logo, and distribute the FreeBSD operating system ports. Any support would be greatly appreciated!
