If people really find that difficult I'm not sure any OS is going to be the answer long term. If you do enough computer use you'll have to follow instructions at some point. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/desktop-browsers.html Java is a different matter. Handbook should be updated to use the iced tea plugin since the other java plugin doesn't work on new FF plus it's other deficiencies. Comparing Ubuntu and FreeBSD is a false choice and if you want a rough equivalent of ubuntu, use PCBSD. I don't agree with what you say is so hard, but there are options to take most of that overhead away. -- Adam Vande More
