My sentence is NOT about "Current" , but 9.0 RC1 .
Perhaps , you will NOT say , if a person is NOT knowledgeable , he should
NOT use 9.0 RC1 .

Up to now , my most disappointed situation is that , there is NO any
tendency to
lower required expertise level to use FreeBSD .
Such an approach is confining FreeBSD to a small number of elite users
 when compared to millions of Linux users let alone hundred millions of
some other operating systems which they are approaching to billions when
version users are summed in spite of paying money also .


Thank you very much .
