Although I understand that FreeBSD is Not Linux, I think it would be more beneficial to acquire more users by providing a more easy way of installing FreeBSD. I am trying to install as I type and am having some problems. I think I will be ok after several attempts. But if we provide an install procedure say similiar to Redhat or Caldera than more people may be willing to switch and/or try FreeBSD. Don't get me wrong. BSD is more of a technical persons system than say Microsoft but we need to get more users of FreeBSD on the bandwagon. Also, I see alot of magazines about Linux but not a FreeBSD specific magazine. We might want to try at least a one or two time issue to see how this goes.
