I just started here at the University of Maryland and I have already got 3 people to kill thier Linux installations in favor of FreeBSD (and one more who wants to, but can't because FreeBSD doesn't see his 10G hard drive right). Simply find a Linux user and show them how much easier life is, it works. Additionally, if anyone at the University of Maryland would be on this list and interested in forming a loal users group, or maybe a regional one dedicated to the *BSDs, email me at let me know.
