I second that FreeBSD is a server OS, but do sympathize with what Dan has mentioned. Opening new audiences of course starts with a quick install on a desktop or laptop.
An easy answer would be to put the web-browser and such the first disk, but I don't think it would solve anything. If it kept with those, FreeBSD would find itself just moving towards the same work being done at PC-BSD, wouldn't it?
