Guys, I'm going to be interviewed for a Net radio talk show, Computer Beat (www.compbeat.com) for my newly-released FreeBSD book. Much to my surprise, I have the opportunity to offer the interviewer some questions that I would like to be asked. While I have a couple boring, basic questions, I'm sure there are good questions out there. I'd like to take the opportunity to do some general FreeBSD advocacy, as fifteen minutes is a long time to talk about a book. ("It's good! Buy it!") I am drawing a blank on questions that would be of interest to a general audience. Everything I can think of is stuff like "How is SMP/MAC/KSE coming along, which would be of interest to people in the BSD crowd but not beyond. The audience is computer literate, but not necessarily BSD-literate.
