The NetBSD Project recently released NetBSD 5.0, the 13th major release of its Unix operating system. If you are not familiar with the BSD mentality, it's a back-to-basics approach. In this gallery we go from install to running a GNOME desktop in a virtualised VMware instance. This process is console-based.

You are right, they are not Ubuntu (Thank God for that.) But I have to disagree with you about not wanting to be Ubuntu...
Take a look at their Desktop Initiative.

in particular: http://wiki.netbsd.se/Desktop_Branding everything looks just like Ubuntu ( from the GDM theme to the wallpaper).
I hope they go in a different direction.

The install procedure hasnt changes for 10 years or so. So why the screenshots? Maybe to warn users that you are going back in time compared to modern installers like in ubuntu.
