I live in China.
We have a department named 工信部, it blocks a site by polluting the DNS and point the domain name to random foreign IP.
I think this explains what happened here.
Erm, the new bsdinstall menu is about as simple as they could get. You have the option how to use your disk, with an "Automate" option to let the installer do it for you.
Then there are four sets of "packages" that you may want to have installed, and then some options to define the configuration of your keyboard, location, timezone, et cetera.
In all, I think the bsdinstall is really a big step forward for FreeBSD.
I'm still going to argue the point, there are no distributions in the sense of Linux. There's just "FreeBSD".
"BSD: Berkeley Software Distribution"
You're being pedantic here, again, I meant it in the context of linux distributions (that's what most people coming to FreeBSD are familiar with when they say things like, "I don't like the installer, I'll try another distribution!").
"PC-BSD: based on FreeBSD"
Right, this is the only thing I would say comes close to the general "idea" of linux style distributions - but I still think it is inaccurate to say that there are "distributions" of FreeBSD. PC-BSD even has its own kernel modifications in order to make it more desktop friendly - I would classify this as its own "BSD" IMHO (much as DragonFly was "based" on FreeBSD until they decided to completely fork it) even though it still relies heavily on the FreeBSD project.
