B) A really strong installation program (something RedHat/Fedora excel at). C) Make the developer tools more modular (not tied to kernel) so that you can upgrade them and change them, or not even install them if you choose. One cool thing... FreeBSD has the advantage of being loosely tied to Apple's development of Darwin. I noticed they are bringing pre-binding to the FreeBSD Kernel. All I can say is sweeeeet. - Matt Jarjoura
