Please , do not understand me that I am against the efforts of very
valuable developers and contributors of the FreeBSD .

All of my complaints are result of my gratitude against them and their
products .


My wish always is to see that FreeBSD is much more widely adopted , and
used . To reach such a case needs to eliminate harsh points for the
beginners . An "expert" can do anything he/she wants , but number of
"expert" people is small with respect to number of new beginners .


For that reason , please do not compare yours and others ( others are new
beginners ) .

Thank you very much .
