The Oracle story is a good example. Back in 1999-2000, Oracle actually completed a port of Oracle to FreeBSD. But they never released it, deciding that there was not enough market for it. Later they released it for Linux, but still, even today, many companies that sell Oracle-related software still don't have Linux ports. Naturally, a lot of software that isn't really a corporate business application (like a web server) is used by business and by corporations. But that is already covered plenty elsewhere.

OK. Freebsd-questions is wonderful and I find a lot of answers there, but the signal-to-noise is low when you are just looking for IT-oriented information regarding FreeBSD. Especially regarding systems implemented for an office/LAN environment. I was wondering if there is any mailing list or newsgroup devoted to IT on FreeBSD? Google is not returning any hits on this, nor the listing on freebsd.org. Your question parses, but it is not clear what specific thing you have in mind that would seperate an IT-oriented list from a non-IT oriented list. Can you either give an example question or two, or can you say why freebsd-questions is *not* IT-oriented? Sorry for the slow reply...I was out of touch for a day.. I guess I'm thinking that there are just a lot of things that you get into in a corporate environment . "For instances" are hard to think of off the top of my head, but, how about implementing Citrix NFuse on Tomcat on FreeBSD? They always assume Linux or Solaris or (sorry..SCO..8-) ) and while you can make it work on FreeBSD, you spend a lot of time fixing stuff that probably someone else has fixed before or conversly, you should be sharing thi info so others don't have to wade through the 'discovery' process. Or does your question mean you looking for a list whose members are mostly sysadmins and network managers, rather than end-users? Exactly. FreeBSD doesn't really make much distinction between an end-user and a sysadmin [1], but you might find freebsd-stable or freebsd-isp to come closer to what you are looking for. What I'm saying is a list like freebsd-isp, but focused on corporate IT with FreeBSD. -isp is helpful, and I *am* subscribed, but doesn't include a lot of IT types.

I agree the the S/N ratio is [a] variable [b] generally high ... However I also find that for a specific question posed by oneself, the S/N ratio improves a lot with directed answers generally being quite useful. Admittedly, sometimes they can be 'short and succinct' (read terse), especially if it is a common question for which the answer could have been filtered out of the preceeding 'noise'. cheers mjt -- Murray Taylor Special Projects Engineer - Bytecraft Systems & Entertainment P: +61 3 8710 2555 F: +61 3 8710 2599 D: +61 3 9238 4275 M: +61 417 319 256 E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit us on the web http://www.bytecraftsystems.com http://www.bytecraftentertainment.com --- The information transmitted in this e-mail is for the exclusive use of the intended addressee and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
