to be honest, i do not see the reason why we should not link the
article. it is a subjective impression of a not very experienced (for
me) linux user. and i think the essence of the article is not that far
away from reality.
i think this is the way people coming from windows/linux with not much
unix experience will see freebsd and i think the problems he addresses
are really things windows/linux people will have problems when migrating
to freebsd. and after all he does not do too much criticism.
he does a lot of praising too.
and why should we only link 100% objective technical articles. i think
it is refreshing to also read some of these personal articles.
