There's no logical follow that just because there's more FreeBSD websites that it means the system documentation is poor. There are just as many other valid reasons that this can be happening, here's a few: 1) It's getting easier and easier every year to CREATE websites, and cheaper and cheaper to field them. 2) There's more FreeBSD in use out there than there used to be - I'm sure that FreeBSD use has doubled several times over the past 3 years and if you look at the number of websites as a percentage of the general FreeBSD usage, I don't think you could make your case - in fact I'd suspect that there's a smaller percentage of FreeBSD users setting up websites on FreeBSD than ever before. 3) The number of UNIX applications ported to FreeBSD has exploded, there's a lot more things that you can do with it than there used to be. 4) There's more newbies using FreeBSD than ever before and newbies naturally consume more documentation than experienced folks.
