   Ed,
   If flash is bothering you, its quite easy to just install the linux
   version of firefox on FreeBSD.
   Sabayon linux is a multimedia powerhouse.  Definately needs some good
   spec hardware to run even after most of the xgl services have been
   disabled. The sabayon image is around 4.2GB which gives you an
   indication.
   Ezat.

      My problem is that I haven't done a linux install since before
      FreeBSD 2.2 IIRC and have no idea which version would be the most
      versatile and has an installer that is basically brain dead simple
      with most all drivers.  I suspect that I am asking the impossible
     but
      you never know.

     Maybe PC-BSD or Sabayon Linux. Sabayon is based on gentoo and
     contains
     lots of proprietory drivers built in. So, if you have no problem
     with that maybe
     you could look at Sabayon Linux too.

     I've never heard of Sabayon but will definitely give it a shot on
     my laptop first and take a good look at the licensing.
     I really like the idea of PC-BSD but the Flash thing, holds me back
     a bit.
