Thank you to those guys who have been promoting my blog recently: Dru Lavigne, Oliver Herold, Justin Sherrill and Steven Rosenburg. It was especially kind of Justin Sherrill from the DragonFlyBSD team to refer to my site since I don’t track the development of DragonFlyBSD on this blog. If you want to know more about DragonFlyBSD have a look at the project’s website, Wikipedia or listen to these podcasts. If I have forgotten to mention your name here, please accept my sincere apologies and email me the link to your page and I’ll update this post.
If you have a FreeBSD related product or website that you wish to promote, contact me and I’ll blog about it (for free!). The whole purpose of this site is promoting FreeBSD. The other day I received an email from Diane from the HamFreeSBIE project if I could write a little bit about HamFreesBIE and give it some attention. This I will do later today.
We have now more than the 100 readers that have subscribed to RSS and hundreds visiting each day. Can you do me a favour and tell all those interested in BSD and open source software in general about my site?
If you like this blog, “FreeBSD – the unknown Giant”, please let me know. If there are things that you don’t like or would like to see changed, I’d love to hear from you too. Feel free to contact me with suggestions to make this site even better.
Many thanks
Gerard
