X-Mailer: VM 6.70 under Emacs 19.34.1 Sender: owner-freebsd-chat@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hey there, Last night one of my more rabid Linux-nut friends coerced me to take a copy of the RedHat 6.0 boot floppy and CheapBytes CD's from him (he bought lots to give away to people ...). I told him I wasn't going to install it but I would at least boot the floppy and see if it detected all my hardware correctly and see what the install looked like. It did detect all my scsi stuff correctly as well as other things which was cool ... however, as 'cute' as RedHat's install is (with its 3D-push-me-in-text buttons) I have to take my hat off (no pun intended ;-) to the folks who contributed to /stand/sysinstall. I've used FreeBSD since 2.0 and the install "look-n-feel" has stayed consistent but yet improved on every release. I have to say that /stand/sysinstall looks "cleaner" to me than the RedHat install. No holy war, just one man's opinion ;-) Major Kudos to Jordan and all that make the install process not only work but look good and consistent from release to release!!! I can't wait to get my hands on 3.2-RELEASE! --Happy FreeBSD User -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | John Reynolds CEG, CCE, Next Generation Flows, HLA | | Intel Corporation MS: CH6-210 Phone: 480-554-9092 pgr: 868-6512 | | jreynold@sedona.ch.intel.com http://www-aec.ch.intel.com/~jreynold/ | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
