BSD media is going to 200 cities for http://softwarefreedomday.org

[Michael DeMan]

In all honesty, I haven't setup FreeBSD in a few years for a desktop - we like it for servers & routers.

However, I seem to recall that the install was pretty painless.

Out of curiosity - what is the status for EZ install/usage for something like 'FreeBSD on the desktop' ?

Thanks,

- mike
