Tim: Don't take my observation wrong, except that the things you were saying on a "newbie" list could be misleading if some others believed the features truly did not exist as you say. They do exist, but have different command names/syntax. Also, you merely encountered some installation problems that could have been for many reasons, none of which were necessarily the fault of the OS and its ports.... I know the things you mentioned can in fact install quite smoothly but care must be taken.... or be absent of other factors such as hardware conflicts ... or from "operator error".... Give it 30 days and then post another message about the experience which I'll bet will be different....
