It is my understanding that FreeBSD boxes are much softer than Linux
boxes and won't cause numbness in the buttox.
You need to watch your enjoyment level when sitting on these boxes,
as not all chasis have been tested under 'load'. I personally have
experience with a rack mounted system that suffered a 'crash' leading
to a terrible 'panic' when subjected to about 180lbs.
Also, Windows boxes have been known to cause hemroids and rectal bleeding,
so I'd definitely suggest *NOT* using them.
