It's no secret that our installer blows. It gets the job done for a
basic install, provided you know its quirks, and thats it.
I don't think that having or not a raid option at install time is classifying
the installer as behind nor I think it is important. Freebsd's installer
probably lacks a nice look but on the other side it is clear and direct and
you get without lots of questions and blabla the system up and running in
5-10 minutes what certainly is straight forward and not behind.
Well, thats your opinion, which i doubt many people share.
The only advantage I can see is when you really want raid at install time and
that definitly is not usual.
What planet are you from? It's very usual. You setup RAID before you
copy data to the array, not the other way around.
Even if *your* opinion is that Freebsd is not intended for average users it is
used by thousends of them.
I seriously doubt they don't know what RAID is.
Setting up raid with gmirror on FBSD is as easy as dd'ing an image to a floppy
disk so I do not see where you wast your time - still less since you do not
need to reinstall the OS again. So who is confused here is you.
You fail to see the point, please don't get involved on this topic any
more. I didn't ask to debate the above advantages, with people that
don't have a clue what they are talking about.
