Heh. I know *exactly* what you mean. I've tried Linux out of idle
curiosity/bordeom on at least a half dozen occasions, and I think the
longest any install has actually remained on my drive has been maybe a
month (and that one wasn't being used at all after a couple of days, just
took me that long to get around to removing it).
Once you've used FreeBSD, Linux just has a plastic, artificial, "toy" feel.
Yes, it looks nice, and I can easily see how newbies could be quite
impressed by it's visual appearance, but once one begins to really delve
beneath the surface, it's just one disappointment/annoyance after another.
I would take even an X-less install of FreeBSD over the prettiest, most
"user-friendly" install of Linux any day. It just has "superior" stamped
all over it (if one has eyes to see, that is).
