So we abandon a majority of our user base because they can't install, then gain a new user base because of a glitzy install package? Just indulge me for a moment: what, exactly, is wrong with the user base we currently have? They don't have cool enough hardware? Speaking of uncool hardware, I recently installed FreeBSD on a 386SL laptop with 6 megabytes of ram and an 80 megabyte hard drive. The formerly useless piece of hardware is now very cool in my mind. :) -john
