FreeBSD Today

We don't need an installation program like Redhat, that'd make me change
from FreeBSD like a burning ant. That's one thing that I like about FreeBSD,
is it's easy installation process, that will start on any computer, and
doesn't take two hours to do.

Modular development tools are also a no-no, you can't compile FreeBSD 4.x
with 3.3 gcc.. (afaik), that would be asking for big trouble.
