Do you still need more flames for the FreeBSD to be a better one ? :) :) :)
>Funny...
I am humorous. Thanks for understanding my humor and smiley faces. :) :)
BTW, why is this news group so *personal* ?
Is this because there are so small number of people who read it ?
If you do not want to talk about bsd.questions seriously, please use e-mail.
You are just wasting the bandwidth.
Anthother thing is : Wasn't it the BSD folks who started the flame
first ? - Linux is a toy. (Mess-)DOS ??? ....etc.
Your flames are not flames and replies to your flames ARE flames. ??? :) :)
Lastly, I have seen many postings core FreeBSD/NetBSD teams spent lots and
lots of time. I would like to ask them a question:
Why do they want to do that ?
As someone posted, DO NOT ALIANATE USERS.
I still wonder how many of CS majors can set up FreeBSD, even with
the improved friendliness of the 1.1R (I mean 'set-up' not just dumping
the OS from the diskettes). There are still more missing things
for the new users. More and more users will appreciate the core team's hard
work when it does understand the users and do the right things for them.
Flamelessly Yours, :) :)
