>+         <answer>
>+           <para>For most people, yes.  But this question isn't quite
>+             that cut-and-dried.</para>
>+ 
>+           <para>Most people don't actually use an operating system.
>+             They use applications.  The applications are what really
>+             use the operating system.  FreeBSD is designed to provide
>+             a robust and full-featured environment for applications.
>+             It supports a wide variety of web browsers, office suites,
>+             email readers, graphics programs, programming
>+             environments, network servers, and just about everything
>+             else you might want.  Most of these applications can be
>+             managed through the <ulink
>+             url="http://www.freebsd.org/ports/">Ports
>+             Collection</ulink>.</para>
>+ 
>+           <para>If you need to use an application that is only
>+             available on one operating system, you simply cannot
>+             replace that operating system.  Chances are there's a very
>+             similar application on FreeBSD, however.  If you want a
>+             solid office or Internet server, a reliable workstation,
>+             or just the ability to do your job without interruptions,
>+             FreeBSD will almost certainly do everything you need.
>+             Many computer users across the world, including both
>+             novices and experienced UNIX administrators, use FreeBSD
>+             as their only desktop operating system.</para>
>+ 
>+           <para>If you're migrating to FreeBSD from some other UNIX
>+             environment, you already know most of what you need to.
>+             If your background is in graphic-driven operating systems
>+             such as Windows and older versions of Mac OS, expect to
>+             invest additional time learning the UNIX way of doing
>+             things.  This FAQ and the <ulink
>+             url="../handbook/index.html">FreeBSD Handbook</ulink> are
>+             excellent places to start.</para>
