| Dear Sir/Madam,

I hope you'll pardon me for saying this, but we frequently get requests from
students asking us, essentially, to do their homework for them. This is always
a little discouraging, and I'm afraid we've gotten a bit jaded by these
repeated requests. We haven't quite gotten to the point of complete cynicism,
but . . . well, you get the picture.
On the plus side, all the information you require is already at our website:
http://freebsd.org/
I assume you got the questions@freebsd.org address from the website anyway; I
don't know why you couldn't have bought yourself to continue reading the
website to find the information you sought. (It's a process we like to call
"research.")
Best of luck to you.
