Hello my name is Luis, I read your email about new users install experience, here is mine:
I'm using FreeBSD 4.9 and so far has been the less painful experience installing a system so far even compare to windows(install, reboot, oh I detect that you have some new hardware, do you have this or that? bla bla bla then reboot againg and so far, I recently install a win 98se for a friend and I wasted a couple of hours in the process), OK the graphic interface sucks and you have to make some serious reading to get the system working the way you want but it's a good way to lear! at the end of the installation you usually get a system that is almost ready to go. I look around an once I tried Gentoo Linux, what a waste of time! it was imposible, for me at least, to get the X86 working, configuring the Kernel was overwellming and later when I finally tought that every thing was ready to go the stuped thing ( maybe I, the user was the stuped?) did not work. Hope this information help, I will stay with FreeBSD from now on, I don't know about other Linux flavors, besides Gentoo a friend once tried Mandrake or Red Hat and he spend several days trying to set it up so I don't even want to tried. Another one just give it up with Linux at all. Luis F Trimino _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Información de Estados Unidos y América Latina, en Yahoo!
