I did install a BSD once a long time ago. I thought about making a homemade router and read it was one secure puppy. Well, when I set my password, I guess something was on/off like numlock/caps lock because I never could get the password to work after I rebooted. I couldn't find a way around it so I stopped playing with since I didn't want to install it again. So dang secure I couldn't get in and IT WAS MINE. o_O I have read where people say it is not real desktop friendly, as in KDE type desktop stuff. While at it, check out my other thread about KDE and permissions. I think my init thingy has broke something. I'm looking for ideas. I planned on at least giving this a shot but if it is going to break before I even get started, switching may come sooner rather than later. The short post that mentions the init thing is the latest.
