    Instead of expending valuable life points trying to convince
companies producing Linux software to port them to FreeBSD, we should
concentrate on improving FreeBSD's Linux binary compatibility.  The
iBSC2 compatibility is already good enough to run WordPerfect under X
(something the Linux folks are still waiting for).  I would love see
an ad that says "FreeBSD - Better Linux Than Linux".  ;-)
