  In reality, FreeBSD can not be concurentable ws NT,   we have few big
problems:
     1. bad java support
        1. biss-awt won't work (on 2.2-stable)
        2. port of latest jdk from sun is absent.
     2. We have not GUI admin interface for FreeBSD,
        so newbaies will preffer other systems.
     3. near 80% of using computers is databases.
        we have not port of client software for well-known
        commerce databases (Oracle, Sysbase, Informix)
     4. We have not good c++ compiler.
        gcc is great, but exceptions and namespaces are
        very important stuff for c++ programmers.
        And standart string class yet not well in 2.2-stable.
