The current FreeBSD needs an IT professional or at least a person who is 
very much interested in IT with a certain level of knowledge.

The dummies are the other end. But there are a lot of people who could 
operate and would like to operate FreeBSD but they are just not able to 
overcome the problem of installing it.

They do not need all the things a server needs. They just need the 
things to get their very own PC up and running with the help of a 
handbook they understand.

The number of FreeBSD users will raise if more people are able to 
install it without the need of professional know-how.
