I too spend the time. I am thinking that for other people to want
to use FreeBSD they want something other than a command prompt.
They at least want a web browser out of the box.
For some, but for others like ourselves here we really don't want all
that bloat. One of the reasons we really like it is its perfect for
server installs, no crap installed that you don't want :)
Agreed, but if you go back to earlier versions of FreeBSD they gave
you an install option for just binaries, or binaries + sources, or
binaries + sources + X Windows.
I am proposing something similar once again, but this time if would be
enough of X, a small window manager, and Firefox so a basic windowing
environment was able to be installed, from the CD, with a single
choice. I doubt many developers are really browsing the web all day
with lynx.
