Enlighten Considering FreeBSD Port

Posted by Nik on from the NP:-By-My-Yoko-Ono dept.

Nick Sayer writes, "Enlighten Software makes system administration software and currently offers a port for (various distributions of) Linux. We are considering native support for FreeBSD (given what our software does, running it under the Linux ABI emulator really isn't an option). We are soliciting comments from people who would purchase our software if it were available for FreeBSD. Please send mail to bsd@enlightendsm.com. "

    I would like know what the software is before I can even consider to buy it.
    Is there a link for this? Or is this a new kind of guessing game, if it is, I don't enjoy it one bit.

    BSD will conquer the world! Watch out, Amiga! We're gainin' on ya! Watch out, NeXT! You're next! Our installed base is almost as large as that of BeOS R2 for 68x! Atari will never catch us now! Minix?! Ha! We piss on Minix. We've got twice as many users, easy. Maybe even three times!

      /. has never really been a friendly place for BSD and so most of the BSD users don't bother hang out at /. very much. The rest of us BSD using /. readers are just gluttons for punishment I guess.
