It feels much more grown up, much closer to the engine. Professionals don't want to be padded by computers. There's enough padding OSses out there already and GNU/Linux is becoming worse and worse in that regard. Question is: Does FreeBSD want to go down that drain as well? Then go and take care of Tom, Dick and Harry. There's something I call "death by publicity" and a lot of high quality people, organizations, things, ... went that path already. - D.Received on Mon Apr 04 2005 - 19:08:12 UTC
