Or maybe I just got accustomed to the freebsd > install ;-) I have done installs on FreeBSD, Redhat, HP/UX, and Solaris and I have to say that Redhat is very confusing. FreeBSD does have it's warts but it is better than Redhat. HP/UX and Solaris also have their problems, just ask Nicole Harrington how she liked installing Solaris on an X86 box, but they are better than FreeBSD but not by as much as you would think. HP/UX install looks a lot like FreeBSD but not as limited as FreeBSD. The ability to have more than 2 buttons on the screen and too be able to backup is a major blessing.
