Flick a couple switches in inetd.conf and voila! Instant workstation. You and I all know that FreeBSD can be whatever we make it by configuration. The less experienced user may not know this. I say that the key to doing all of these things (workstation, lite versions etc) is providing the correct level of documentation for that audience. It would be easier to put a link on the website like this... To make your OS a workstation follow these <a href>simple instructions</a>. .... than it would be to develop a new distribution out of the existing distribution.
