1. Please don't yell.
2. The tone of this message was not much  better than the tone of the
   original.
3. Nobody is claiming, nor does anybody beleive that FreeBSD is
   *perfect*.  (just better than most ;-)).

You don't have to go through the installation process twice.  Install
once, and a little bit of setup thereafter.

As far as I can tell, vinum can be used as a loadable module.  This
means that you will not even have to configure and recompile your kernel.

I don't use it, so I don't know much about it.  I do see that there is
some information on it at http://www.lemis.com/vinum.html.  This will
probably get you started.

Also, there is a section (which I skimmed through and it appears to be
very good) in chapter 14 of  _The Complete FreeBSD_ by, Greg Lehey (Walnut Creek; ISBN: 1571762469).

Good luck.
