When friends of mine who have been sysadmin's for years :complain about how plain-vanilla and generic the basic FreeBSD install is, :and how much work it is to get it dialed in and 'friendly', i really don't They smoke crack? On my desk, I have a FreeBSD box, an HP/UX workstation, a Solaris workstation, and a Windows box. The FreeBSD box took, by far, the least amount of time to get useful. Ports just rock. We even have a package that installs a bunch of stuff on the solaris box (top, Netscape, a couple of shells, and some other random stuff.). It still took me longer. If I were doing a hundred or three installs, solaris and HP/UX might actually be nicer, since it's somewhat easier to roll up a big bundle of stuff in a package.
