Geez, a thread that should have died already and I'm contributing to it.
I've used FreeBSD and OpenBSD for at least 9 years. I much prefer the OpenBSD installer over the FreeBSD installer any day. If people read just a tiny little bit the OpenBSD install docs they'd realize the OpenBSD method is so much better than the hold holding approach used by FreeBSD. I won't even comment on the majority of Linux installers, except to say they SUCK. my rapidly diminishing in value US$.02 worth diana
