A 'serious' OS? As opposed to what, a casual OS? Gimme a break, FreeBSD is just what you make of it, no more and no less. If you want to install and use it only to display slideshows of X-rated pictures, or just to feel cool that you have Unix installed, that's perfectly fine according to the FreeBSD license and according to anything else. FreeBSD is an OS, like any other OS. The people who use it are people, just like any other people, and they don't necessarily follow rules to the letter, read charters the way they're supposed to or RTFM all the time. A gentle (or even a moderately serious) reminder would have been appropriate. A "stick it up your nose/a**" is not. That's not the way an adult speaks to another adult if they wish to be listened to. -- My web site starts at http://www.serv.net/~fewtch/index.html - lots of goodies for everyone, have a look if you have the time.
