A similar structure may be established for FreeBSD . As an example , booting in virtual machine may be possible , but in a real machine may not work . Some main boards may work , but others may not work . The FreeBSD project can not establish a very large testing farm . People wanting to participate may contribute very much . Every one will not test every thing . For that reason a database will be constructed at the beginning to contain ( user , parts can be tested ). When a test is required , by querying the database , a message will be send to the prospective users to inform them about the tests . The users will apply tests and return the results . At present , there are "call for testing" messages . In such an organized community , such messages will produce much more structured and effective results . Thank you very much .
