You seem to be reserving FBSD only for the experts. I wouldn't be here
using this great OS if it had been you I met in the first place.
Fortuantely, there were very kind people here who helped me make first
steps into the world of UNIX and then continued supporting me along
the way.

By constantly repeating that UNIX is no Windows replacement you are
only discouraging fresh blood from entering the system. It is true
that the system has steep learning curve but it is not an elite system
for the chosen few. Contrary to what you think, the more people use
it, the more chance we get of (for example) hardware producers making
FBSD drivers. So please stop discouraging people from using it.
Please.
