And what do you tell them? I've downloaded, installed, configured
*BSD a couple of times. Looks just like a distro-switch to me: things
have funny names and they're in the wrong places. The package
management system is different from the one I'm used to. "apache" is
still spelled the same way. I haven't actually tried deploying any of
this stuff, as I have a clue about what I don't know, but...
Didn't we have someone offer to give a LUG tour of one or more of the
BSDs? Did I miss that one? That's a session I'd like to see. I don't
see anyone listed on http://wiki.gnhlug.org/twiki2/bin/view/
Organizational/MeetingSpeakers, but it's a talk I'd attend.

The same could be said of baseball. Or football, a few weekends ago.
"What we have he-ah, is a failure to communicate." Tower of Babel.
Hmm. Maybe language is not our most clever invention.
