An interesting counterpoint to the "any clueless luser should be able to
install XXX" philosophy:

http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-devel-9903/msg02288.html

I do not agree with the conclusions of this interesting article, but I
do agree with some of the "dangers" he spells out, as they apply to
FreeBSD in particular.  Perhaps Daemon News should drop a quick reference
to this in News Items?

I'd be interested in discussing this here in freebsd-advocacy as well,
and in prompting discussions among the NetBSD and OpenBSD groups as
well, as to how we can or SHOULD strike a balance between making the
installation easy enough, but not waste time on minutiae.
