Do you really think Theo cares if he targets one or the other? He just ensures that the OS is up to his standards. He does not care if users use it for a server or a desktop. Why are you so hell-bent on dismissing FBSD as a desktop OS? Run that same argument to Bill and company about Windows as a server. Better yet, join a Windows list and start yacking about how Windows ought to drop out of the server base. See what that gets you. I know why you wont - you'd never last in that list as long as you are lasting here. One last time - FBSD IS a viable desktop OS - Stop the blanket personal view as gospel that it's not.
