Before installing FreeBSD, I tried unsuccessfully to install NetBSD, figuring I'd start with the least stable of (NetBSD, FreeBSD, Linux) and not risk messing up good Linux and FreeBSD installations. Then FreeBSD 9.0-BETA1 was released, and I went with that: now on 9.0-STABLE #9. That was on a computer that I built from parts in May-June 2011, meaning modern hardware including UEFI, but no "secure boot". Tom
