  1. FreeBSD focus of "general" BSD periodicals by dirtyhippie · · Score: 1

    What's with the FreeBSD focus of "general" BSD periodicals such as daemon news? 4 out of the 7 articles are primarily focused on FreeBSD (I'm including the TrustedBSD and "Daemon's Advocate" articles)...

      Because those who write papers and send them in usually use FreeBSD, if you want to change that, write your own articles and send them in.

      Speaking as one of the article writers for this month's issue, I personally don't have the resources nor time to dig into the other BSD operating systems. Also, I focus primarily on FreeBSD since I run FreeBSD on all of my machines that I run and manage (sans my primary work machine, which runs Windows 2000). The only machines that I can install a non-Windows operating system on are usually lower-end machines that don't have a lot of hard drive space (I know hard drive space is cheap, but I'm in debt right now).

      Once I'm done with my next two FreeBSD projects for work, then I will try to snag a Mac machine and maybe write an article on Mac OS X 10.1.

      If you want to see more general BSD articles or an article on your favorite BSD flavor (be it OpenBSD, NetBSD, Mac OS X 10.x or Darwin), and you have the time to write an article... you are very welcome to submit it to Daemon News. If so, just send a completed article to articles@daemonnews.org

    I confirm that this is the same tired-ass old post you've been giving us all along. The word is originality; look it up, toad.

    By the way, it should be noted that Netcraft itself is running Apache on FreeBSD.

    Exactly, there aren't even any pop up or banner ad's. Free software is not to blame for open source projects not making money, it their inability to capitalize on the opportunities presented to them. Shesh, could at least have some p0rn links,...
