Not sure why this is on the homepage. It reminds us that Slackware linux and FreeBSD are great server platforms regardless of how old your hardware is. What gives?

I was actually really amped to read this! I've been a linux nerd for a long time. My buddies and I, instead of getting laid in high school like normal people, would play with trying to make Slackware look like OS X. Remember the infamous digital blasphemy mushroom wallpaper? -- http://digitalblasphemy.com/graphics/previews/fluorescence6_... (cc @aprilzero if you are out there haha)

Anyway ... point is I'd really love some more resources for someone who has been a linux person most of their life/career but is open and interested in learning more about FreeBSD. I have a micro instance running cperciva's 8.2 install and it's waiting for me to give it more attention. Listing the processes or running top and seeing just how incredibly lightweight it is ... makes me happy. It feels so zippy. I realize this same thing can probably be accomplished with linux by installing a very baseline operating system, but it's refreshing to see nonetheless.

I'm looking forward to playing with FreeBSD this weekend ... any tips are welcome!
