New Dutch *BSD portal
Kees writes "Since this weekend there's a new *BSD portal site. You can find it at: nedbsd.be
(the nedbsd.nl domain is coming too, but DNS works so slowly :-( ). This site is pretty unique, since it is the first portal site for *BSD users in The Netherlands, and the second one in Dutch. This site really looks like it's going to be a real community. Every Dutch/Belgian *BSD lover should give it a chance! The site is going to contain a huge pile of documentation, written by and for visitors. Just like the bsdvault.net. Everyone is welcome, everything is welcome."
from the gratuitous-promotion dept.
;)
Or you sure it's just that or are the ads alone not bringing in enough money?
If only I could come up with a good sig
But, why couldn't all of these language specific sites pool their resources and create 1 site (write it in English...it seems to be the most common language on the internet) and have translators...much like RivaStation.
RivaStation is written in German, but it gets translated to English...overall, that would be a much more interesting site...and lets face it, it would definately get more hits by being translated to so many other languages.
I'm sure there are better ways of doing this, but it's just a thought...
Recently, Slashdot [goatse.cx] confirmed that WindRiver kicked FreeBSD out on its ass for 1.5 kilos of hashish and a 3 kegs of Amstel.
Yet another story without enough background info. What the heck is Dutch*BSD?
The evaluation of an action as 'practical' . . . depends on what it is that one wishes to practice.
P.U. - someone open the window ...

This is supposed to be the first dutch BSD users site. Bull shit. www.bsdaemon.be (it's in dutch, so most of you will not be able to read it) has been around for some time: online since since 09/02/2001 (dd/mm/yyyy), 38603 pageviews since June 2001, 264 articles posted, 38 users,
The guys behind this site try to make BSD more common for a broad range of people in the netherlands. Therefore, their main goal is to persuade people to install BSD by translating the Documentation from english to Dutch.
Great job!
I think it's a great idea to open a dutch site fot the BSD users amoungst them. Why not in English? to make it accessible to everyone in holland. Not everyone is able to read/write english, and its always less difficult to read dutch instead of english. Go on, and I think I'll submit some how-to's soon.
This is all a big joke, but suppose you were right... You didn't count the MacOS X users and MacOS X is indeed based on Mach + 4.4 BSD. Surveys even indicate that the market share of MacOS X is double of Linux's market share.
Yeah yeah yeah... We heard all that.
Now, where the fsck were you when you were actually needed? Like for this article?
De site statistieken zijn wel weer interessant te noemen: minder dan 10% v/d visitors bezoekt met *BSD, 45% met Linux en 38% Windows. T'is niet echt een desktop winnaar te noemen;
I don't get the need to convert things into Dutch. an OS without apps is nothing, and most if not all apps aren't in Dutch, and they won't translate that. It's like writing C in the middle of a Java program. It's fine that you know C, but you still won't understand the program unless you also know Java.
loz
Nice to see portals for the BSD OS's
I still find real documentation for say FreeBSD too scarse (besides the handbook).
Besides, there is another portal already in Dutch language:

Well, don't worry about that. We can get you back before you leave. (Dr. Who)
