What about a calendar for next year, marking off dates of current and
historical interest, the odd paragraph on an interesting incident,
landmark event, person or philosophy, a picture of the humble computer
that breaks all these records, the first FreeBSD CD, daemons of
yesteryear, Jordan frolicking with his cats...
Maybe half a dozen pages of carefully selected reference info. FreeBSD
URLs of course, but also things like an abridged vi reference (I'd
prefer ed, actually), a list of those IP addresses that anyone can use,
which branch to follow and why(not), that BSD genealogy diagram, and a
whole lot of things I don't know about but should. Don't forget the
audience is international. Make this section useful enough, and the
rest entertaining enough, and it'll even be worth buying for those poor
souls who still suffer some other kind of unix.
