And this is why I won't use any of the "FreeBSD made easy!" distros: FreeNAS, PC-BSD, pfSense, etc. Better to learn how to configure the official release to your intended use case.

I swear, every last OS always has to have one of those "let's replace all this stuff that's worked for 40 years and go with all this brand-new, much more complicated stuff because old = bad, new = good!" types.

People just don't like the idea of incremental improvements, nor find beauty in simplicity anymore.

I guess that is why many use their modern GNU/Linux, *BSD boxes as if they had a UNIX SYSTEM V with a VT 100 in the basement.
