Beware: Something so good as FreeBSD surely has a darker side. You may find yourself collecting old crufty hardware, beacause after all, FreeBSD will run quite well on it. You may have an uncontrollable desire to say bad things about Bill Gates. You may become known to your co-workers as "that UNIX guy/gal". You may have an unspoken understanding of why SCSI is so much better than IDE. (One you just can't put into words.) You may be puzzled why you're playing with fetchmail & ijppp at four in the morning, and are happy about it. You may feel jelous of people who answer more question on freebsd-questions than you do. You may begin to crave SCSI tapedrives. O'reilly's sendmail book may become fun reading. You may loose all respect for the masses who mistakenly call Windows an operating system. When you go to help the DOS users, you'll probably use the forward slash when you mean the back slash. You'll use "ls" when you mean "dir". You'll use "cp" when you mean "copy". They'll laugh at you. You'll wish they had "vi". You may find building webservers laughably easy. You will find it very difficult to convince your Linux running buddies that they should try FreeBSD. If they're fumbling newbies, take them a CD of FreeBSD. Be helpful, show them how east it is to install FreeBSD. They'll be hooked. Remember: They only picked Linux because it was at the bookstore. Make sure to point them at this list. You won't want to answer all of their questions yourself. Share that with us, some of our cases are advanced, we're hooked. If you really go off the deep end, and start writing code, remember, I warned you!
