Not to mention the domain you are using your environment for. It's quite
a luxury to be able to relay on FreeBSD, Linux and whatsoever FLOSS to
make a living or just to satisfy every needs of a user's hobbies.

Nobody is wise, who tries to spoon a soup with a fork. Is's always
useful to have a look over the edge and if necessary to e.g. just use a
spoon instead of a fork. 

YMMV!
