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
