I want to run Gnome on it (I've run gnome under linux, and I loved it). Exactly how extensive is linux app support under freebsd? And also, I want it to run pretty fast, would you say that a celeron 667 or 700 would do the job nicely? And also, about how much memory? 32 or 64 to start off? Also, with the source code, does that include the bootloader source and all? Oh yeah, one last question.. how easy is it to upgrade one version to the next? and how would I go about this process in the future?
