I guess my point was lost as well... I don't see development happening
(other than system development, such as the OS) happening in BSD.
I don't see vendors saying "This product will run on BSD" I see "This
product will run on RedHat Linux Enterprise Edition, etc etc"
:-/
(Do not read me wrong--I love FBSD, and have been an instant convert
since 2000 version 4.1 ;).. I just wish it was easier to find commercial
applications that would run under it. Having to spend $2500 or whatever
it was for RedHat Enterprise so I could run Oracle Collaboration Suite
was just wrong on so many levels :-/ )
Best,
G.
