Hello HUMBUG,
My name is Tony Galvan and I am the Account Executive here at BSDi Asia
Pacific.  First we would like to thank you for your interest in the FreeBSD
and BSD/OS.

As you may know, Comdex/Networld InterOp 2001 Australia, will take place in
Sydney from 3/7 to 3/9.  This year, BSDi will be there.  Our Booth Number is
#116 in the US Pavilion.  We would appreciate it very much if you would
inform your members and we hope to see you there.

Also, there have been many changes at BSDi lately and I would like to take
this opportunity to update you.

BSDi recently acquired Telenet Systems, a proven quality BSD/OS and FreeBSD
platform hardware manufacturer. We also merged with Walnut Creek Software,
the gatekeepers of open source FreeBSD and long-standing source for
UNIX/LINUX based tools and applications. In combining these companies with
BSDi's technologies we are able to offer multiple hardware and O/S
configurations from 1U's to the largest RAID systems preloaded with FreeBSD
or BSD/OS.  You can review our product offerings, recent press releases and
company profile on our web site at www.bsdi.com.

BSDi develops, markets, and supports advanced internet operating systems.
They are preconfigured, or custom configured to meet your network computing
needs. Our customers boast that their BSDi production servers run for years
with zero downtime.

WebStone v1.1 benchmarks demonstrate that the BSDi Internet Server running
its built-in Apache Web server executes Web applications faster than Windows
NT in every test.

BSDi-powered systems are used by large portals like Yahoo! and Microsoft
HotMail, large NSP's like UUnet and Internet Initiative Japan (IIJ), and by
over 90 percent of the world's ISP's, NSP's, CLEC's and LEC's.  BSD
operating systems run more than 2.5 million workstations Internet servers
and network appliances.

Here are some articles found on the web which highlight or compare BSDI
products. http://www.bsdi.com/news/web/index.php?emphasize=NT

Also, BSDi can now offer you sales and support for FreeBSD and BSD/OS. If
interested, please see http://www.bsdi.com/products/software for software
sales, or http://www.bsdi.com/services/support/ for technical support.  If
you need any information or have questions, please feel free to contact me
directly.  If warranted, I would appreciate it if you would please forward
this to the appropriate department/person.

And don't forget, we are looking forward to seeing you at Comdex/Networld
InterOp in March.

Thank you,
Tony Galvan
