Hi. As a latinamerican a dream of an elegant desktop FreeBSD too. I studied computer sciences and I can install FreeBSD for desktop use easily, but "regular" people can't. They also can't see what I see beautiful. I hope that biculturalism (http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Biculturalism.html) will merge into one beautiful way. I know that in this life anything comes for free. I also know that free software comes from freedom and does not mean software for free. Every project needs funding. Therefore I hope that someday "someone" will find interest and give funding to a Desktop FreeBSD project that latin-americans and the caribbeans could use. I like very much your work.
