Most likely you'll be the first one. If there are any BSD users, they're probably FreeBSD since it's the OS that was the first popular, and still is - Yandex, etc., Unix in the former USSR during the dot-bomb. That's right, FreeBSD, not Linux. Beer production and demand has exploded in the republics of former USSR in the last decade. I am sure Armenia is participating as well, although traditionally AFAIK they drank and made mostly wine. That whole stupid vodka stereotype no longer applies. All they do now in the former USSR is drown in beer and make their girlfriends cry (very beautiful girlfriends, assholes don't deserve them). You'll see a lot of that - just walk through some parks...
