Brilliant and very useful for FreeBSD, IMHO

There is a big difference between the two. Lindows does not expect you 
to ever set a root password or create a user account. There is no login 
at all, as near as I can tell. It's a very different philosophy from 
FreeBSD, where you're still expected to set the root password and create 
a user account after the installation.
