New boss, would like a BSD box or two, and due to this job, I've had no
time to play with it. When he said that, my two co-workers said, "I
don't think I've seen Scott this happy in years." It's my first love,
and of course, one of the things it (generally) has over Linux is the
documentation, which makes the more complex things much easier. I
haven't, however, had much time to work with it, even at home, for a
couple of years.
It actually wasn't hard, it's just that it might be difficult for a
newcomer, and due to the hplip port being somewhat broken, can't use it
with my scanner, but aside from that--took only a little longer to set
up than Fedora, though longer than Ubuntu. (Fedora, I do a minimal
install and have to add everything afterwards, as I customize it
heavily.)
