You could take some old machines and try to set up some small
useful things:
- a squid-proxy
- a samba/cups printer server p.ex.
People at work will see, that freebsd is useful, stable (and
cheap), and you will (have to) learn a lot.
One day you might substitute your PDC by a freebsd/samba machine.
