Ars Technica article on FreeBSD new user experience

[Gordon Bergling]

Hi Ed,

I read this article a few times in detail, but some parts are still driving me nuts. I agree that FreeBSD isn’t maybe that best Operating System for the Desktop User, but please, nailing it all down on the  installation experience is strange at least. I think, it would good to have an official response from the FreeBSD Foundation, to say at least.
