    it was forked from OpenBSD 3.x (twice actually, first from 3.0 then 3.3) the idea was to make a easy gui based admin & install BSD oh well, still plenty of free / open / closed /proprietary BSD flavors to choose from that are very much alive and growing. The idea of an easier admin/install is very good & would help attract new users. Sure, an experienced person could whip out a configured machine in under 15 minutes for any flavor of BSD, but there's alot of confusing stuff for a newbie.
