I didn't think that it'd be a problem, however, companies can never be 
too careful. We are primarily a high performance computer hardware 
company. We're trying to push PC-BSD, in an effort to show that the BSDs 
aren't second or third class systems & can perform as well as any other 
system...or better! At this point, the Linux users have their venues for 
consumer hardware. The major players have experiemented with it & then 
there're companies like System 76 out there. Now, PC-BSD has a systems 
ally for consumer. Powerful enough for a system's admin, but comfortable 
enough for your parents!
