Interesting. Myself, I went directly from Macintosh to FreeBSD. I like
them both. 18 months ago, these were the only two OSes I had ever
installed and so I thought painless installs were the norm. 

But one year ago, I had the misfortune to have to install MICROS~1 Win98
on a computer at work - what a pain in the butt! It was a tremendous
harassment, requiring constant babysitting. The installer can't even find
its files *on its own CD!* A real piece of work. 

I really like how FreeBSD - even when installing over a modem - is so
little trouble. Get it started and go to bed; in the morning it's done.
