Makes sense, if you are relying on "word of mouth" or "grass roots" to spread the word about FreeBSD. It would be really nice, though, if there were a button on the FreeBSD web site that said "Test drive FreeBSD NOW!", that did everything automatically, without warranty voiding disk-ectomies. The disk lending approach also doesn't work incredibly well on laptops, unfortunately. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
