The situation I am thinking of is where a group all use FreeBSD.  One 
person is responsible for installation and upkeep of the computers, and 
everyone else just uses them (for example, they don't have root access).

An example of this is the University of Missouri Math Dept about 10 
years ago.  We all used FreeBSD.  Now being Mathematicians, most of us 
didn't have a clue about how it all worked inside.  Most of us wouldn't 
even understand what the UPDATING entries mean.

Since then, most of the Dept have moved to Windows or the Mac.  I am one 
of the few who still uses FreeBSD.  So maybe you are correct after all - 
only use FreeBSD if you are a power user.
