ROCKLinux is designed very similar to FreeBSD, even if as for advanced
ATA-RAID and SCSI-RAID controllers it is not ready out-of the-box like
FreeBSD. ROCKLinux has no kind of graphical installers and doesn't show
puppets during the installation, moreover like FreeBSD it comes with clean
installation instructions. I have experienced a clear handbook is the most
useful thing. Therefore, as an after-Wodka-thought, I would simply like to
write 'California über alles, sysinstall über alles...' [Dead Kennedys].
Please, don't waste your time to reply this idiocy, it is only a stroke of
colour.
