Sometimes people want just what they need. Do you want your cousin's cycle in a living room? Stuff one even don't know what is it for? Drivers for scsii you don't have? I would like freebsd as neat as possible. It _is_ simple and neat. What I do not get is why system _must_ have "newbies" and what "newbies" in this situation are. Is there any dead-line for something? Million "newbies" till the end of year? As for everything, one _must_ exercise and learn. It is, btw, the pleasure of living. Why does freebsd need graphic install if it matters once-twice in a year? Openbsd discourages from recompiling for onother reason. Security. If someone likes it, ok, if not, ok. If the system is broken, is it over for the rest of life? Of course not. Openvms doesn't use customised kernel too. ;-) Best regards Zoran
