In the process of lurking I see all the normal complaints about this that and the other thing, so I wanted to express appreciation for a positive experience w/ FreeBSD.
I just went through the process of installing FBSD 8.1 on a server yesterday evening and I am in the process of setting up and configuring the different services and it has been a real smooth process and a pleasure so far.
The documentation is amazing, and I can't see a need to ask questions in the forum for a long time, based on what I have been reading so far.
Finally, contrary to some opinions, I think the ports rock. It's the simplicity of this system I appreciate. I think there is more than enough discussion about ports so I won't detail why here, but it will be enough to list myself among the group who likes the ports.
Thanks to all who put effort into making FBSD what it is.
