The letter in the string that gave me warm fuzzies I've clipped from:
"The other serious problem they face(BSDi) is the lack of any
real value-add to BSDI other than tech support. When you compare
FreeBSD to BSDI, what few differences there are technically
insignificant. And what they want extra money for tech support
wise, most FreeBSD'ers can get help for on the USENET for free."
