Why, you might ask, would anyone want to build their own operating system? It's really about being in control and knowing what's going on.In the next few paragraphs I'll explain what motivated me to take on this project, the recipe I used, and what I like about it.

>I know I won't try it intill FreeBSD gets these things: A fully graphical installer(sorry, I don't have time to mess around with command line installers. A easy to use GUI that is installed WITH the FreeBSD installation(again, I don't have much time to mess around with a commandline). If FreeBSD gets these two simple things, sure, I'll give it a go. But for now, I'll stick with SuSE.
Let me clear a few things up.
The installer isnt command line. Its not pretty like YAST but it gets the job done.
Also FreeBSD has a number of window managers along with xfree86 that can be installed at any time including during the install.
