->  In a nutshell, I inserted the CD, booted the machine, answered about a
->  dozen questions, then played Tetris until I saw a message
->  saying that the
->  install was complete (yes - Tetris is included in the install program to
->  allow users to kill time while it copies files and compiles the kernel).
->  The whole procedure took less than half an hour and was so amazingly
->  simple I couldn't believe it.  For users looking for a stable, reliable
->  and easy-to-install OS for their desktop, I definitely
->  recommend Caldera's
->  OpenLinux.  I think that anyone considering tackling the
->  desktop OS market
->  would do well to examine this installation procedure.

ha!  that's a riot!  imagine the reaction of someone who is trying UNIX for
the first time, expecting a lot of confusing work and ....tetris!

i have not "set up" x in FreeBSD, but only installed it on one machine ...
it was NOT hard, really simple even (through /stand/sysinstall) to put in
x/enlightenment.  (though, never having been in an x environment before,
once i got into it it was kind of confusing)

my $.02
