None of this is unique to FreeBSD. It is exactly the same no matter what 
OS or other tool you use. Either you know your tools and do your job for 
the benefit of your customers. Or you don't know your tools, to the 
detriment of those who trusted your claims otherwise.

As expected, you got the last sentence wrong. I wasn't referring to 
FreeBSD, but to consulting and integration services :)
English is apparently not native to both of us.
