The editor replied that investigation at the time LJ was founded suggested that the FreeBSD community wasn't interested in a magazine devoted to FreeBSD!?!?! However, he said, "we have some things we are working on". Now, I can only speak for myself, but _I_ would certainly enjoy a FreeBSD or Linux/FreeBSD magazine. How about emailing LJ giving a vote for FreeBSD? Or even better: Ask them to ship a FreeBSD CD on the next issue of LJ. That should get the Linux camp going (and Walnut Creek). It's no doubt in my mind that Linux has benefited enormously from it's popularity, and although the development philosophy of FreeBSD is , shall we say, more controlled, it's a pity there not a FreeBSD on every desk in every home(heard that one before?) I dont have the email adress of LJ offhand, but look at www.redhat.com or www.linux.org. You'll find it there somewhere. Anders Moe Dept. of Applied Mathematics SINTEF Oslo, Norway.
