Description Gavin Atkinson 2006-05-14 00:50:15 UTC
	Within the Commercial Gallery section of the FreeBSD website
(http://www.freebsd.org/commercial/), there are a significant number
of dead links, both due to companies disappearing, or restructuring
websites.  The attached patch fixes these up.  I've put considerable
effort into tracking down companies before removing them - if the
entire entry has been removed, I'm reasonably confident the company
no longer exists or no longer has any connection with FreeBSD.

How-To-Repeat: 	N/A

This one works fine from here.

The rest of the changes look great.  Thanks for all the time you spent
to check the links :)))

I can't read German, so I cannot verify this one.

Good catch :)

Apart from the "GND Distribution, Ltd." change, I agree that the rest of
these diffs look fine.  Is it ok if I commit all the rest of the
changes, except the one about "GND" Gavin?

It does indeed seem to be back now.

Neither can I.  The original link was a 404 and it was a challenge to
navigate their online catalogue in a language I didn't understand...
Babelfish suggests it now looks like they no longer sell the BSD daemon
toys, instead they list several other suppliers for it at
http://www.freibergnet.de/fgnet/haendler.html .  However, they do still
seem to offer several FreeBSD hosting solutions, so it may be best just
to move them to the ISP page.

Probably best to also either leave the freibergnet.de entry alone, or
remove it entirely/move it into the ISP section, either way I'm happy.

Thanks,

Gavin
