@stefano @dgoodkin This is a good idea, BSD systems deserves the clout for running very interesting stuff.

As someone who was drew towards Unix since a young age (the spark was lit when I was 12 and saw Solaris in a server/workstation in the movie Tron: Legacy) I'd like to add a couple of things:

- BSD systems would be a better as an introduction to Unix than Linux is. When I tried Linux as a newbie I found it pretty opaque and unwelcoming. The lack of a comprehensive documentation made hard for me to evolve to a skill level where I was able to do actual troubleshooting and not just rely to googling error messages and pasting stuff in terminal. Running BSD helped me a lot in that regard and made me better with Linux too.

- emphasizing the community aspect of Unix systems (sharing data, sending messages, seeing "who" is online, making silly broadcasts with "wall"...) would make these even more fun to use. If I was in charge of a middle/high school computer science course I'd run it on a multi user BSD system using the individual computers more like dumb terminals.
