Hi Everyone,

This is off-topic, so please feel free to disregard it, but I'm sending =
it to this list in the hope that it will reach a largish number of =
users. =20

I am currently looking at updating some of our advocacy material (which =
advertises exciting new features like SMP support), and before I do I'd =
like to get a better feel for why the rest of you are using FreeBSD.  If =
you had to list the three things you most like about FreeBSD, which =
would you pick?  Are they the same as when you first started using it? =20=
