Yes, I know things are expensive.  So are the rewards.  Would it be worth it?

The reason that Ted asked for a donation of the server is because apparently 
none of them have access to one to make FreeBSD work properly on this 
particular system architecture.  Ted's request is not the only thing that can 
be done.  You can even loan for a certain period of time if you wish.  The time 
period would have to be sufficent enough for the developers.

The developers can reward you (support for FreeBSD) if you give them something 
(donation money, parts, gimmericks).  That is why you got a free OS.

FreeBSD is more organized and managed more professionally compared to many of 
the Linux distrubtion organizations.  That is why anyone will tell you to use 
anything except $THAT.

The FreeBSD development seems slow compared to Linux development for numberous 
of reasons.  I cannot and will not name them except for one.  We go for 
quality...not bleeding edge (I did that first!..but it's broken after few days).

Everyone in the world is stupid...no perfect smart human exists. :)
