Dwight! What ! How! Installing FreeBSD takes flat 3 minutes!!! after i'm done, I do install the ports, with 2 more minutes!! Then from ports Tree I just command "make install clean" for Apache PHP5 webmin, lynx-ssl radius and few more ports, like pop3 and others.. PLUS!! i configure it as a gateway, for my datalink routers (wan branches) and lan GW, plus upgrading to latest patches..and adding few routes.. it takes, few hours, infact around 3 max! If I dunt upgrade the system it takes 1 hour only! so i dunt know how more easy you want it to be! Oh, forgot to tell you, i have a freebsd server thats working since year 2000!! till today! plus few others. The review you pointed us to, is just totally unprofessional one.
