I manufacture several BSD based systems and I'm sure there are many others that do as well and it would be really great to get the BSD community blessing for it and put a little logo sticker on it similar to what MS does. If there is no such thing I would like to start such a committee and would love any support in that if possible. -Christopher From sagara at tomahawk.com.sg Wed Apr 8 20:45:13 2009 From: sagara at tomahawk.com.sg (Sagara Wijetunga) Date: Wed Apr 8 20:45:19 2009 Subject: 97% of all e-mails sent are spam! Message-ID: <20090409003039.2074.qmail@us1.tomahawkonline.net> Hello FreeBSD We have published following post on our Tomahawk Desktop corporate page on Facebook as there were misleading comments on the original BBC news item: http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=69576250138&ref=nf One of the issues we found with the non-Unix users is, that they are under the perception that Unix-based operating system such as FreeBSD, Linux, etc. seems to appear as secure because no virus author target them due very low market share. Appreciate if the members of the FreeBSD community could comment on our post especially on the technical aspects of why Unix-based operating systems are secure irrespective of the market share.

Our team, team 11743, needs your support to keep Team FreeBSD climbing in the ranks. All you need to do is to install the Folding @ Home Linux/UNIX client from Stanford and run it with the -freeBSD option. http://folding.stanford.edu/ A non-Stanford page with clear results charts. http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_summary.php?s=&t=11743 What you are doing by supporting this is helping Stanford researchers identify possible good improvements in drug source genetics that will help them create new drugs and possibly eliminate diseases or malformities. This is much like the SETI program, but the results may have huge importance for your children (not that real little green men won't! :). Every result helps. -- -- Don Wilde "Criticize by Creating" ... lots of work to do.
