I know this is off topic...

You are correct sometimes it isn't the most important thing. However, in 
many, many cases it is. As with any aid project, it needs to form part of a 
range of things on offer. Until now, no one has really sought to fill this 
huge gap and so this is a big step forward in dealing with the digital 
divide that exists in many parts of the world.

Anyhow, back to freeBSD. :)
