It does have hints of what goes on during installation when done by non-geeks. One comment was the million questions asked during the installation of Slackware (a personal peeve of Slackware), another comment was on the poor/nonexistance documentation (hmmmm, that sounds familar, did FreeBSD ever fill the DocMaster position yet?). Though the article does not say too much, it is good feedback from a non-believer that can help us too. And besides Pammy didn't do much exciting this week -- oh, neither did Robert Cringely. --mark.
