Who is "most freebsd users"?

i would think most are interested in running servers or routers or
possible scientific applications or engaged in os study and appreciate
its simplicity and consistency.

i don't think it can compete with linux in terms of some of the bells
and whistles that the desktop offers, but imho, a lot of those bells
ring out of tune and the whistles result in sore lips.


The possibility here is the bells and whistles strangely enough DO work
in tune and without sore lips... FreeBSD could be THAT good.
