    FreeBSD is widely used as a server. Being such, hands on it are of
    administrators which prefer the way it is, as is. It shines over ALL in the
    use of command line.

    I think you would be much better off trying Linux Mandrake instead.

    ----
          Hello,
                 I dont have a question but I would like to make a statement. 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
                  to put BSD down or anything, I would love to have it on my
    computer fully working so that I could
                  use something other than Windows! Im by no means bored with
    Windows, I find new and exciting
                  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
                  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
                   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;
