I believe this is because of a common misconception of what FreeBSD is. In essence FreeBSD would be the equivalent of the Linux kernel, except we have a userland integrated. No one would claim that the Linux kernel was a 'distro' that needed a GUI installer, yet some think that of FreeBSD. > > As for FreeBSD itself, the question must be asked: do we WANT to get > more love from people who judge an OS by whether or not it has a > graphical installer? No, but it would be great if there were some offerings in ports for those who wished to roll their own 'distro' ;-). -- - d...@freebsd.org d...@db.net http://www.db.net/~db _______________________________________________ freebsd-advocacy@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-advocacy To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-advocacy-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
