nothing else.
I do note, however, that only about 10% of my questions to the list actually generate useful answers. The other questions either get no replies at all, or vague replies that really aren't useful, or pure guesses. One gets the impression that nobody really knows anything about FreeBSD, or, if anybody does, he never replies to this list.
That is bullshit. Take your recent request regarding firefox. I told you exactly how to do it - install ports, run portupgrade, then make install in the firefox directory.
I did exactly that Monday evening on a system I was setting up and it worked perfectly.
I also told you not to screw with the precompiled firefox package, and you did it anyway, and you had problems.
Indeed, the only messages that generate replies are those that suggest
that FreeBSD is anything other than sweetness and light. Serious
questions about how to use the software are met by a deafening
silence in too many cases.
That's why I say what I do on my Web site. Anyone thinking of running
FreeBSD in a production environment needs on-site experts to deal with
it, because they'll never get any help from anywhere else.
Untrue. There's many of the core team that make a living consulting with FreeBSD and that has been going on for years.
What you really mean to say is that they will never get any CHEAP help
from anywhere else, whereas with Windows since it's common as dogshit,
there's enough activity in the huge number of Windows forums that your bound to run across the answer to your question, for free, if you
fish around for it long enough.

what the parent poster needs to look at it not the quality of the answers, but the quality of his questions.
no one is going to waste time deciphering some vague question like " freebsd doesn't work help me"
