If I might butt in: If the user-to-be wants a working system in 5 
minutes could there be a link on the FreeBSD homepage itself directing 
them to PC-BSD (or similar) .ISOs? Perhaps with an addendum that, while 
they can download and install FreeBSD 'straight up, no chaser' using an 
image from the FreeBSD page, it *isn't* going to be 5 minutes and 
perhaps a derivative version might be their best bet.

Just a thought,
