This depends a _lot_ on what hardware you have. I have a series of older 200 4/233's and they installed far easier using FreeBSD than with Debian and overall the system ran a lot smoother. Some of the newer hardware is still unsupported or only recently supported which is what causes the problems. This will definitely change as time goes on. -don To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
