Actually, XP requires you to read the prompt before you get to the GUI. They throw back-asswards things at you to see if you have at least two wrinkles in your brain before they ask for your time zone. Since the initial purpose of this exercise was to look at BSD versions (and was stated as such), I wonder why Linux thangys like Fedora keep popping up. I would also like someone to explain to me why an OS can be for servers and security and otherwise useless (aside from the developers concentrating their attention on people other than Aunt Gertie). Looky here:
