Hello,
=20
I dont have a question but I would like to make a =
statement. I downloaded Freebsd version 5.0 release
and unpacked it in great anticipation. I made a bootable CD =
(the best I could, It's not as easy as making
a bootable windows CD) put the cd in my rom and found that =
BSD is not for me. Look, Im not trying=20
to put BSD down or anything, I would love to have it on my =
computer fully working so that I could=20
use something other than Windows! Im by no means bored =
with Windows, I find new and exciting=20
things out with it all the time.I feel that im pretty =
literate when it comes to computers, which brings
me to this: You people have to make a product that is just =
slightly more user friendly.Cant you=20
think of a way to auto-mount your os like windows? Setting =
up your os is like trying to work your
way through a jigsaw puzzle.(Windows even partitions your =
drive for you) If someone expects to
challenge the makers of Windows they are going to have to =
come up with a user friendly system
like Windows where you have an easy command format =
instead of what your trying to do. I mean
come on, first you have to figure out what to partition =
the drive in because you dont explain any
of this, then you have to mount everything,which is =
beyond the average users comprehension,
then you have to figure out commands to pass along to the =
kernel..etc...etc...etc. With Windows
all you do is stick in the disk and it's all pretty =
straight forward from there on out.
Please, if you could just tell me of one of your systems =
thats a little more user friendly I would=20
love to use it, and tell all my friends about it too so =
that they can spread the word about the new
operating system thats fun and easy to use.

Your Friend;
