Submitted by (radiomlodychbandytow % o2 ! pl) via docs:

First, http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/emacs.html
It starts with "Unfortunately, UNIX® systems do not come with the kind of everything-you-ever-wanted-and-lots-more-you-did-not-in-one-gigantic-package integrated development environments that other systems have.", after which is a reference to a statement that notes its outdated, but nevertheless the line clearly deserves removal.

Then "Also, you will need a fair amount of memory to run it--I would recommend 8MB in text mode and 16MB in X as the bare minimum to get reasonable performance."
It's just funny.
