I agree with your comments. I have yet to meet an OS that I can't find fault with and the reverse is also true, i.e, I have yet to meet an OS that doesn't have positive points. The real challenge is to recognize when you are hitting a fault and have a choice. You can then run the project in a positive environment and not waste time fitting it in to a system where it is not effective. If you only run one OS, Murphy will provide many opportunities for you to demonstrate a clueless moment :). Running too many will dilute your skills and let Murphy pop up again. Where the curves cross is based on personal skills such as exposure and a photographic memory. My last FreeBSD 3.4-S problem dealt with a 20GB HD. I couldn't mix 3.4 and Windows 2000/NT4/98. I couldn't add a 3rd partition after the FreeBSD 3.4 slice without the BIOS declaring I had an illegal partition. I installed 4.0 in one large 13GB slice, which was compatible with W2K and the BIOS, but I couldn't build Code Crusader. I have Code Crusader building now and I am back to an improved situation over 3.4.
