Unfortunately, mentioning this is counter-productive when said in possible
future client meetings...;-)

Oh yeah, it's true. Too true.
But what can you do? We need these people to survive...

Perhaps...keep freebsd.org as it is, but build freebsd.com as the
commercial/upper-management-tailored/abstracted from technical/whizz-bang
site...

I dunno. I just know it'd be easier to sell, if people were impressed from
first glance. Seems shallow, yes, but might work?, maybe.

Has anyone got better sales-tips, not tuned for sysadmins?
