Smart move. I will definitely be spinning up some FreeBSD droplets. This will attract people like me who enjoy building lean and mean BSD servers, and give people an alternative to Linux if they choose.

Nice work Digital Ocean, love the way you folks keep pushing forward. Need some tutorials written?

While this is great news, BSD support is currently the second most widely requested enhancement to the Digital Ocean service.[1]

I wonder if we'll now see additional storage addressed soon?

We've already put together a lot of basic documentation in-house, [0] but we'd love to expand on what we have in the library. Checkout our "get paid to write" program. [1]
