Well, i started a new learn of computing on this OS, "un-learning" all about i knew on computing, a very difficult task when you're coming from IBM... All my friends repeated to me : "you should work on Unix like system, you should .." 2 month's ago, i would like to setup my own server, at home, with web, ftp and mail services. I want him robust, efficient, safe and so one. i dreamed to get an old 3090 for 500$ !, but there's no place at home for him :o) Thus, i have started to install my first FreeBSD (on a very special computer) ... 2 weeks later, without any knowledge about Unix like systems, my httpd, ftpd ran (very ?!) well. This mean that your system is well designed and documented. Monitoring access, it's incredible to see that BSD is faster by 2 to 3 than other tested system. and i discovered that computing is absolutely what i learned on IBM .. Great thanks to the community, and your effort to document FreeBSD, even in French (we are so bad with others languages ..!), i hope to help the FreeBSD users by writing some drivers and other things, K.
