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.
