I wasn't trying to bash FreeBSD at all. I think it's a great operating 
system. Heck, the reason I even went Mac OS X was because of its BSD 
foundation.

I still think that FreeBSD and most of the UNIX and UNIX-like desktops 
need a little more work to make them equal to the commercially 
available applications on the Mac. IMO, Apple has done a great job of 
bringing BSD to the masses, and the user will never even have to know 
that there is a command line underneath it all. My family members use 
Macs and they don't know a think about UNIX. Now if FreeBSD could do 
that...
