I'll have to agree here... first i thought, cool, you can customise most
things, build packages ala bsd... but it just was borked enough to really don't
make much sense. ( and no, i'm not really a linux newbie, started using
slackware in '95).

I've stuck to centos since then - v reliable when i can't use fbsd. and quite
easy to remove or not install ui.
