What FreeBSD users really want

[sammy sumer]

Complime to the folks at FreeBSD

 I write to extend my thanks and appreciation for your replies to my e-mail.
Your responses were clear, easy and straight to the point. Keep up the good
work!

 Thank you so much for helping people like me to learn about FreeBSD.

 You deserve the Nobel Prize in software category.

 Regards

Sammy Sumer
