I am not one of the those technical people. From a non-tech's viewpoint, it is a demanding operating system; but I am a more competent and more responsible computer user for the trouble. Maybe that's a good point to explore: convenience rarely breeds responsibility. (What's the line from spiderman?..."with great power comes great responsibility"?) Put another way: The best things in life are earned. Fafa, Roger is right about analyzing/choosing your audience. If your audience would be truly interested in FreeBSD, don't underestimate them (but make sure to provide a list of references for further reading). If they need the discussion "dumbed down", your probably wasting both your time and theirs. I could be completely wrong; but that's my 2 cents.
