Hello Sirs,
I have a dream....to make worlds best free bsd based desktop system in
the world .....but why do I want that (freebsd does great on servers
. ..and why do we need this ?) ..Bcos billions of people who desktop
system have no real choice ...they are stuck with M$ and further
confused by hundreds of linux variants......they need a INTUITIVE, EASY
to USE ,FRIENDLY
which is also easy to manage centrally in a cooperate environments has
binary compatibilities , SECURE and Virus free . I think freebsd
provides this ......after all MAc OS X is based on it.... i also went to
drawin + gnu drawin site ...failed to find anything interesting (and
confusing license)
I think we should have a elegant graphical install
graphical install ->> can we boot from bootable CD (lik e knoppix) and
then run a install program (which maybe web(from the bootable
cd)/perl-gtk script based GUI software for easy install....this will
allow us to easily install the system with out low level installation
Easy Management(scallable to thousands of system)->p2p based software
distribution system like bittorent or jaxta to pull heavy software
package then use port ystem to finally install
Centrall Administration & policies -> Samba + Openldap + phpLDAPadmin +
policies (???)
Autonomic healing - ???
Stateless BSD (like redhats stateless linux project)
I know my dream is worth while .....one day people will use freeBsd
variant as thier desktop ...which will never crash nor complain
I have a dream .....it called MyBSD (most easy to use , friendly freeBSD
based desktop in the world and administratorâs delight )
Unfortunately freeBsd guys dont think its worth while :-(
