In many of the more relaxed civilizations on the Outer
Eastern Rim of the Galaxy, FreeBSD has already supplanted
the great UNIX[R] as the standard repository of all knowledge
and wisdom, for though it has many omissions and contains
much that is apocryphal, or at least wildly inaccurate, it
scores over the older, more pedestrian work in two important
respects.
First, it is slightly cheaper; and secondly it has the error
EDONTPANIC inscribed in large friendly letters in its source.
