I don't think this article is a good addition to the press section.

The guy doing the review is using a very outdated version of FreeBSD
and it's pretty obvious that he didn't bother to look into the available
documentation.

I'm all for constructive criticism, but we can't help people that don't
read docs.

This is not a good article to link to.

to be honest, i do not see the reason why we should not link the
article. it is a subjective impression of a not very experienced (for
me) linux user. and i think the essence of the article is not that far
away from reality.
i think this is the way people coming from windows/linux with not much
unix experience will see freebsd and i think the problems he addresses
are really things windows/linux people will have problems when migrating
to freebsd. and after all he does not do too much criticism. 
he does a lot of praising too.

and why should we only link 100% objective technical articles. i think
it is refreshing to also read some of these personal articles.
