I downloaded Freebsd version 5.0 release and unpacked it in great anticipation. I made a bootable CD = (the best I could, It's not as easy as making a bootable windows CD) put the cd in my rom and found that = BSD is not for me. Look, Im not trying=20 to put BSD down or anything, I would love to have it on my = computer fully working so that I could=20 use something other than Windows! Im by no means bored = with Windows, I find new and exciting=20 things out with it all the time.I feel that im pretty = literate when it comes to computers, which brings me to this: You people have to make a product that is just = slightly more user friendly.Cant you=20 think of a way to auto-mount your os like windows? Setting = up your os is like trying to work your way through a jigsaw puzzle.(Windows even partitions your = drive for you) If someone expects to challenge the makers of Windows they are going to have to = come up with a user friendly system like Windows where you have an easy command format = instead of what your trying to do. I mean come on, first you have to figure out what to partition = the drive in because you dont explain any of this, then you have to mount everything,which is = beyond the average users comprehension, then you have to figure out commands to pass along to the = kernel..etc...etc...etc. With Windows all you do is stick in the disk and it's all pretty = straight forward from there on out. Please, if you could just tell me of one of your systems = thats a little more user friendly I would=20 love to use it, and tell all my friends about it too so = that they can spread the word about the new operating system thats fun and easy to use. = Your Friend; = AJAX
