just a though but has anyone on here ever looked at the K12 Linux terminal 
server project.
http://www.k12ltsp.org/
 It gives the option of server or workstation install so you can have NIS NFS 
Sendmail Bind and all the other goodies for a server or ditch them and go for 
a workstation install with PPP support. linux has RPM for package upgrade but 
we do have a utility in /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade that does a similar 
job. I still prefer a text based system for install on the grounds that if 
you have to trouble shoot thats where you have to be so why get used to a 
windows interface that IMHO is not needed. mutters about HP-UX coming on 90+ 
disks and spending all day swapping floppies people these days have it to 
easy ;)
At the moment I think all the FreeBSD team are working on getting 5 out so 
maybe now is not a good time to start asking for changes to the install
