I tend to learn by repeating something, working
through mistakes, over and over too.  Maybe
that's why I have to re-install all the time. 
Then again, maybe it's cause I love to tinker. 
;)  Although I must say, FreeBSD holds up to my
tinkering a lot better than Linux did.  Probably
because it's an easier system to administer.

When I discovered Portupgrade, I was looking for
a way to upgrade installed packages from January.
 I was truely blown away when 'portupgrade -af'
and about 24 hours of waiting (dial-up
connection) produced what seemed a new computer! 
It even upgraded KDE from 3.0.5 to 3.1.1a!

Yes, script maintainers rock.  All hail the
FreeBSD team!  Woohoo!!! :D
