What we really need is more publicity, so write Articles, Articles, Articles, ... You see how simple and unbalanced the Linux pro writers work, but we NEVER shoud do the same. The FreeBSD community should concentrate on the real advantages of FreeBSD, and I'm sure we can get a lot of more users. But I say again: Not without puplicity, will say be preset in magazines! Sometimes they alto take english written articles, and translate them into german. Be active!
