 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.
