Ever tried DesktopBSD (www.desktopbsd.org) or PcBSD (www.pcbsd.org)? Unless the Linux-distros provides you with a geek that does the installation for you, I can possible see how they could be easier to setup. Yes, you talk about FreeBSD, but after all both DesktopBSD and PcBSD are basically just preconfigured and pre-packaged versions of FreeBSD. For anyone looking for a BSD-based desktop OS, I highly recommend the two mentioned above. I was surprised to see how extremely userfriendly they were despite being relatively new projects. -- R
