Jerry, did you expect to be understood? :)

Mr. Dean's skills in English is yet not that great.

The information you provided him with is something he will naturally
pick up at a time where he is able to understand. Just saying something
like `yes' would suffice. In his case to make him check out FreeBSD,
which is the best we can currently hope for.

All the best,
