I thought it was nice :) I personally have liked the way that both FreeBSD and Slackware Linux have handled the Advocacy of the OS compared to some others. Not sure why, I just do. But it's nice to have this as well, because it's one thing to wear a FreeBSD tee shirt under a FreeBSD hoodie while wearing FreeBSD Boxers and using a Laptop covered in BSD stickers (Yea, I've done this), but it's probably easiest when someone asks why you use it, to simply say "Well, read this and see if you'd like it too, and it's free so you don't have to pay if you don't want to, and you can install it very easily, and configure every single aspect of it" I think we all have our reasons that we use it, and it's nice to see them kind of distilled into one place where you can send someone to look, or, just see what other people are using it with, and why, and what for, and maybe even get new ideas of your own. For whatever it's worth; GREAT job! -Allen / gore
