^^^^^^^^^^^There's a old saying - You can polish a turd all day, but it's still a turd.^^^^^^^^^^^

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!! I'll take your word for it.

LOL

^^^^^^^^Merely putting more polish on it won't fix the real problems.^^^^^^^^^

All you're doing is proving your lack of seeing what the "problems" really are.

^^^^^^^A good working knowledge of Linux system commands is still needed to use them^^^^^^^^^^

A lie repeated a thousand times is still a lie.

^^^^^^^^Mac OS X has the superior technology at affordable prices for desktop computer users - without requiring the user to know anything about UNIX.^^^^^^^^^^^^

SuSE has the superior technology at affordable prices for desktop computer users - without requiring the user to know anything about UNIX.

Ubuntu has the superior technology at affordable prices for desktop computer users - without requiring the user to know anything about UNIX.

Linux is competitive even with the mac. *YOU* personally don't like it. Which is fine. But passing off your opinions as reality when you yourself admit you're using a distro which is designed as a foundation for servers shows the desperation of your argument.

Would you put your grandma on win2k3 server beta 1? I wouldn't either.(assuming linux didn't exist) I'd give her something that's got more polish, and is designed for the types of usage that she'd be going for. Flip the argument. Would you put your server on XP home? In both cases in this paragraph, it's total idiocy.

If you want to make a case for/about joe user, at least base your argument on software that's designed for joe user.

Do you have any experience with the various GUIs on a BSD variant? If so, how do they compare to the linux desktop distros you like?

I'm installing fBSD servers all over the place and want to have a desktop running a Unix variant, but am not sure which one to use.
