Oh, I'm not worried about that, I've run various versions of BSD in the past, from 5.x through to 6.x, it is actually where I started building my own stuff really for the first time in a big way, so I know what lies in store :-)). My biggest issue with it was its (at the time) poor management of disk space, if you ran out, the whole system crashed and was often left in an unrecoverable state - b****y UFS file system, and the fact that it wasn't very good at supporting various wifi chipsets, even after building them :-/ Hopefully things have improved now :-) OpenOffice.org ran pretty well on it too.
