To add something another. Operating systems are very complex. And I mean VERY. So asking why not everything is not in GUI and easy as possible is like to ask NASA if they can provide Space shuttle for you with only two buttons labeled Launch and Landing ;-)
In IT it's very similar. You can prepare multimedia desktop with OpenBSD for your grandmother too, but you must know what to do and how to do that. If you don't know then you must pay someone or ask someone around you for help. A lot of people think that if they are able to install Windows from CD (either legally or non-legally) and that they were able to build their own PC thanks to colors on devices which show where to place every piece that now they know everything what they need to be admin of their own PC. MS tried that and now try very hard to switch it back with Vista and Windows 7, UAC and similar technologies. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
