| Hello dedicated documenters,
| 
| This is a quick email to thank everyone involved in compiling the  
| FreeBSD Handbook for your hours of effort.
| 
| The handbook allows an administrative novice like me to fully  
| configure a robust, secure FreeBSD server from start to finish.
| 
| With the fragmentation of Linux, each branch having subtle  
| conventional differences and idiosyncrasies, it was the cohesive  
| FreeBSD approach, to which the Handbook is an important contributor,  
| that swung me to FreeBSD. It's unix as it should be!
| 
| Thanks again
| 
| Nathaniel

Nathaniel, 

welcome to FreeBSD. Some time ago I also met FreeBSD and
this same thing you're noticing (the cohesive/integrated
approach) and the excellent documentation (both in
books/articles but also in the man pages) were the things
that most impressed me. 

A bit late in my case, but I second you in giving a big
thanks to the docproj contributors (both past and current).

Fernan
