I'd like to compliment the FreeBSD team, and all the people
who contribute to the project. I wrote a post to this effect
a couple of months ago, but as time has gone by I feel a need
to repeat myself :-)
Being involved in a large scale developement project, with
builds occurring on FreeBSD (primary develpoement platform),
as well as SunOS, Solaris, HP-UX, OSF/1, AIX, SiliG IRIX, and
a few others, I've really had a chance to comparse system
stability, flexibility, and the relative accuracy of man pages.
Consistently, FreeBSD has come out on top. For pieces of the
OS not conflicting with each other, for manual pages actually
telling you what you need to do in lots of weird cases, for
taking a lot of abuse and handling it (usually with a smile).
Kudos.
