I could be wrong about this because I've not been able to check for a while, but last time I did check, there are no BSD VMware Tools/drivers, but they are available for most of the major Linux distros. Why do you suppose that is? IMHO, it's because more sysadmins are comfortable with Linux...

Oh, and to those of you who suggested that I do a better job of contributing, I have this to say to you: 1. Programming is only a hobby for me. I could not contribute anything that way. 2. I have had past employers donate money to open source products that we used; however, I now work in the...

OK look: my point is this: if we want to make all BSD's more popular (dare I say it: more competitive with Linux), then we need to attract the lay-people. We therefore need to make it very plain to folks who are Googling/Wikipedia-ing about BSD's that PC-BSD is the beginner's BSD. The Ubuntu of...

If FreeBSD is really only for professionals, then I humbly suggest that you update these Wikipedia articles. They don't even list PC-BSD as "significant" : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bsd http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_BSD_operating_systems This graphic should be changed also...

I see where you are coming from. You don't see where I am coming from: Why do I need an alternative? Why can't FreeBSD have options for the masses?

Really? Are we that arrogant here? Like I said, I don't want to be disrespectful but... That comes off as truly arrogant. Can't FreeBSD be attractive to lay-people?

I'm sorry to keep beating a dead horse, but I really, really prefer the BSD way of doing things vice Linux. I want nothing but success for this project. I therefore have the unfortunate duty of offering criticism (in a respectful manner [but with some humor], of course): Having installed and...

I don't say this to brag, but rather to emphasize the point that comes afterward. I have been a network/system administrator for about 15 years now. I have worked with more operating systems than I can remember, to include: DOS 3.3 - 6.2 (with and without Windows 3.1), FreeDOS, Windows NT -...
