I hate feeding trolls and such (hell I got 200 messages from the feeding frenzy), but I dont really see what the problem is? FreeBSD works great as a desktop O/S!? Sure you have to tweek and tune it to be a good server or a good desktop, but who actualy expects an O/S to do exactly what you want "out of the box" without having to tweek it for that job? For desktop we have all these usb things and stuff, I mean what more do you want? Examples of what exactly is wrong would probably help, but since this is just a great big troll I guess it has no base in reality... FreeBSD is about speed AND stability... What the point in being lightning fast if you crash every 5mins? From all my experiances FreeBSD is much faster than windows as a desktop... For those that say there should be a new sysinstall option, its allready there! You have to choice to install X or not, so there is your desktop or server choice... The base install is designed to work with a wide varitiy of hardware, you are SUPPOSED to custom build your kernel and config files after an install... Maybe you would rather the base install only works on one hardware type and you have to customise the installation program before an install? Ok well thats all Im going to say.. And this is the last troll I feed for at least another 6 months :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
