Waste of time...
Nobody uses this OS. FreeBSd is one of the most over-hyped operating systems ever. Loser search engines like Yahoo use it, need I say more? I remember when I started here 5 years ago. The old CIO had all of these BSD based firewalls. It was ridiculous. Modifying text files to change rules, it was so archaic. As soon as I wrested power, I pulled the plug out of the wall on those boxes and immediately secured our network with ISA Server 2000. When the BSd admins complained about security breaches, I fired them for insubordination and started hiring MCSE's like nobody's business baby. BSD is an old OS, relegated to the scrap heap of history. Every time my rep pays for a meal or hands me some free baseball tickets, I am thankful I got rid of that malware of an OS.
