Not as far as I've seen..  I installed FBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE a while back.  All
Linux installers I've seen are really much nicer than what I saw with that
FBSD install.

Hmm, I've heard from some people that the latest FBSD installer has gotten
much nicer since then.  Perhaps I'll have to give the latest FBSD a month
trial or so when I find time this summer....
