uuuhf man, my example of RH's graphical boot is *not* about a picture and this 
wasn't at all a comparism to any graphics in picture form, you should pay 
more attention to the whole thread instead of junking in here

this thread is about displaying *text console*  in 1024x768 and so I compared 
RH 8x8 boot text to fbsd's 16x16 mode

and it is not about professional looking even if it was one of the points as 
example, it is extremely useful to get more information on one screen and 
still more usefull not having linewraps

and I do not even get why this is beeing fight because it is natural having 
bigger screens and smaller letter to see more at once, unless you have 
disabilities and need the big letters but that is another point of view
