FreeBSD isn't really for the squeemish.

It took me a LONG time to get my KDE desktop up and running, but most of =
that=20
delay was due to my lack of experience with KDE.

If you want a plug-and-play solution, then go download a linux distributi=
on.

I think FreeBSD is more suited for server use anyway.

After all that hard work, I've got nothing to gripe about. Once FreeBSD i=
s set=20
up, it runs without complaining for a long long time.
