I'm a dedicated FreeBSD user and never see press like this; FreeBSD f'ing rocks and I think your idea is great. It's an excellent way to get some press and help the project financially.

This may be a bit off topic from the actual post, but, I just looked at Tarsnap and think it is awesome (you got a customer out of this).
Have you done any/many blog posts on the technology behind your service? It is put together very well and the copy on your website is professional, clear, and abundant. Great job.
