Our own FAQ covers many of these questions, but fails to answer the FreeBSD/Windows questions. Perhaps even more important, the FAQ is long. Look at how things are layed out at cnet. Ten questions in no more than four lines. Direct and to the point. Click on them, and you'll get longer explanations. But the ten-items listing is short and undaunting. We need something like this. And we need to include the Windows and tutorial-like questions too. They may not be about FreeBSD distribution, but people buy OS to run applications, remember... -- Daniel C.
