PC-BSD not added to BIM's BSD leaflet. (fwd)

Moin,

Wie ich gerade zu meiner Überraschung feststellte, bin ich
immer noch auf Julians Leaflet-Mailverteiler.  Offenbar hat
ihn jemand auf die jüngste Version von PC-BSD aufmerksam
gemacht (siehe http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/58995 )
und gefragt, ob das nicht in das BIM-Leaflet aufgenommen
werden sollte.

Ich bin mal so frei, seine Antwort hierher zu forwarden, sei
es zur Information oder zur Belustigung, wie auch immer ...
:-)

Gruß
   Olli

(On the statement print "42 monkeys" + "1 snake":)  By the way,
both perl and Python get this wrong.  Perl gives 43 and Python
gives "42 monkeys1 snake", when the answer is clearly "41 monkeys
and 1 fat snake".        -- Jim Fulton
