I think Jordan pointed out all of the good stuff on this topic. Its pretty obvious that one install isn't going to meet everyone's need. FreeBSD does not focus on the desktop and so doesn't need a desktop oriented install. It has also been pointed out that most people don't install their own OS anway unless they have some semblence of technical knowledge or daring. These people don't need a hold-your-hand type install. That being said... I've heard some of my ex-coworkers (who were all FreeBSD people when they worked here) come up to me in this impressed tone: "You wouldn't believe how much easier it is to install RedHat!'. *sigh* I'm not bitching... just being loyal :) -Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
