We don't need an installation program like Redhat, that'd make me change from FreeBSD like a burning ant. That's one thing that I like about FreeBSD, is it's easy installation process, that will start on any computer, and doesn't take two hours to do. Modular development tools are also a no-no, you can't compile FreeBSD 4.x with 3.3 gcc.. (afaik), that would be asking for big trouble. --Peter ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt Jarjoura" <matt@tasonline.com> To: <freebsd-advocacy@freebsd.org> Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2004 12:55 PM Subject: FreeBSD Today > What I think FreeBSD should have to grow -> > > A) A really good PR executive who cleverly removes the image of being > ultra-geek (or hard-to-learn) material. > 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.
