So would a graphic login by default, that doesn't look like a kernel horked up a hairball, and advertises the fact that the machines in the lab are running FreeBSD, not DOS. I know there is a lot of resistance to this idea, but when you see an idle Windows box, you *know* it's running Windows; when you see an idle FreeBSD box, the same is not true.
