FreeBSD has better _working_ documentation, but one of the reasons Joe PC buys Linux is the Popular Mechanics-style How-To's. They're pitched down to the Windozer's level, so he walks in the door and never gets a chance to try FreeBSD. The same is true for the OpenBSD e-zine that was just URL'd here. The FreeBSD Newsletter was great, but we need something pitched to the WIRED audience _as_well_.
