Yeah like if you have some serious need or you are really interested in learning 
something. (plus you have a bit of free time). If you're an ISP (with commitment) 
or a student with interest in what makes a real OS happen, then maybe you qualify 
(feel free to correct me people!) 

Or, if you're like me, you have a relative needing a FreeBSD box to setup a proxy 
cache server (we should have started off with FreeBSD but didn't know until 
too late!) and you were interested so you installed it and couldn't resist 
learning something that no school can teach you. You might just install it on a 
hdd you had lying around.
Mate, it's a whole new world out there!
