Hmm.. ive never had a reason to want xfs, but then again i wouldnt want to go back to defragmenting in unix. Also it is in the works for version 7. Another thing about freebsd its really simple instalation, definately better than anaconda or live cd.. On top of the simple instalation i can take a 25 meg disk (and it doesnt matter from what version it is) and install the latest version by going through 3 simple steps. 1. Slice then Partition 2. select what packages to install 3. Select from where i want to install (cd/net). Linux will never be able to beat that. Especially since in linux you still have to d/l about 4 gigs unless you use ubuntu but ubuntu is the exeption. Besides FreeBSD can use wireless network cards from sysinstall witch is also a package managemer of sorts, bsd never stops amazing me. With bsd you dont pollute the internet with packages i will never use, not to mention you save the server usefull banwith.
