I am not certain of a good way to accomplish this, but I think an excellent way to start is to aim at college students (in much the way that Microsoft is). Currently, many of my peers are completely unaware of FreeBSD, aside from some hardcore computer geeks (of course, I do my best to make them aware). If people start using FreeBSD during college years (perhaps the time of greatest increase in computer exposure for many, myself included), they will likely be hooked for life; I should know, I think I may be hooked myself. (= There is the added advantage amongst college students in that many dorms these days are equipped with Ethernet, offering the perfect testing ground for those who wish to learn (read: fool around with) http/ftp serving and the like. These may very well be tomorrow's sysadmins. Of course, I really do not know specifically how we might accomplish this. FreeBSD boot disks for all the comp. sci., math, and physics majors? (just kidding) Seriously, though, I think just making FreeBSD known in my neighborhood and emphasizing its strong networking abilities would do some good. Just my opinion. Feel free to call me a fool. I am young, so I am allowed to have silly ideas.
