I have installed freebsd server in a small company that has approx 30 =20 pc's of all sizes, shapes, brands, etc. They have just realized that =20 a large part of the problems that they had before the firewall was =20 caused by the 30 windows pc's that were connected directly to the =20 ISP's wireless router. They would like to change the PC's to unix =20 desktops. I would like to install FreeBSD or any other bsd but don't feel that =20 we have the drivers available to substitute such a wide variety of =20 hardware. I would love to be proven wrong. Therefore I am =20 considering a linux version with a graphic installer that will make it =20 easier to train someone to install on any new machines that they add =20 later. My problem is that I haven't done a linux install since before =20 FreeBSD 2.2 IIRC and have no idea which version would be the most =20 versatile and has an installer that is basically brain dead simple =20 with most all drivers. I suspect that I am asking the impossible but =20 you never know. I'm sure that I'm not the only person to run into this situation and I =20 would sure appreciate any suggestions. Thanks, ed
