In terms of ease of installation, I rank it right up there with the best of them. You don't get a GUI installer, but GUI has nothing to do with ease of use. The installer is straight forward with plenty of help screens. The only confusing part is the initial kernel configuration screen, which can be bypassed if you don't need it. If you don't know anything about partitioning hard drives, then read the manual first. Otherwise it's very good. As for setting up email, Sendmail, exim, KMail, Netscape mail, etc., are all identical regardless of OS. Setting up an internet connection may be slightly different, but the basics are still the same. I actually find it *marginally* easier under FreeBSD than Linux.
