Well, let's pick one. Package maintenance with Mandrake using Software Update, or whatever their buzzword is, blows. I have had no success applying any upgrades to Mandrake completely over an FTP connection. FreeBSD doesn't install nearly so much software in a default installation, but the default features are useful rather than bloatware.
A computer implanted in the human brain would seem ideal. The video and audio could be sent directly to video-processing parts of the brain. The input could be accomplished by thinking about what you were going to type. Like the monkey who moved the mouse...

Unlike certain Linux distributions, the FreeBSD package system seems to work great, even on packages that are on an FTP site somewhere else.
