As someone who changed from FreeBSD to CentOS, due to a job change, let me say that one of the things I greatly prefer about FreeBSD is that they *don't* make very many assumptions about what the user needs, whereas far too many Linux distributions do the opposite, not only throwing in too much, but often making it difficult to work around what they've decided you need. :) So, I would respectfully disagree. It's easy enough to add a dhcp server if desired, and this way, you don't annoy all the people who DON'T want it.

Trouble with ACPI and ASUS MB
I installed 5.1 RELEASE on a box with an ASUS A7A266 motherboard. Not having done enough reading, I had put device apm in the kernel and added apmd_enable=YES to /etc/rc.conf. The box wouldn't turn off in response to shutdown -p. I then looked through NOTES and added device acpi, which fixed the problem. However, on IRC, someone with far more knowledge than myself mentioned that this could be dangerous. As it is a test box, he asked that I cvsup CURRENT and see if adding acpi_load=YES to /boot/loader.conf (and removing the apm stuff, as well as the device acpi) would fix the problem. It didn't. For the heck of it, I then tried recompiling the kernel with the device acpi put back in, despite the possible dangers, but it didn't work either. kldstat shows that the acip module is loaded. The error that I get is ACPI timed out. ACPI power-off failed - timeout The operating system has halted Press any key to reboot uname -a shows 5.1-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT #5: Tue Jul 15 00:23 machinename:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/SRKERN Some googling has indicated that this problem might be confined to ASUS boards, but I'm not sure. My IRC friend suggested that I post the problem here and see if anyone had solutions. Hopefully, I have given enough information--if not, please let me know. In a nutshell, on RELEASE it would work if I included device acpi in the kernel, but this doesn't work in CURRENT. Please cc me as I'm not on this list. Thank you very much for any help you can give--or at least point me in the right direction to solve the issue.
