I thought I would post this as something of a warning. Using FreeBSD as a primary, non-dual-boot OS means sacrificing. Here is a partial list of sacrifices, as compared to Microsoft Windows XP: * webcam ball * flatbed scanner * color printer * digital cameras * firewire devices * several USB 1 and 2 devices * IM software features such as voice and video chat * websites that use ActiveX (Windows) controls * MP3 devices Any major sacrifices I've forgotten?
