[QUOTE="shoggoth80, post: 965991, member: 136505"] I never used FreeBSD, though I wanted to. I could never get it to run right on my machine, likely because of the hardware. I did try PC-BSD a little and liked it, though I had serious driver issues. I wanted to try Open Solaris on my netbook, but using unetbootin for it corrupts the kernel. The new Mac mice look sick as can be, I'd give that a shot, if it wasn't for the price tag of buying it (I can't remember how much at the moment, but I thought it was a little high for a mouse)... though they do seem to be slick pieces of work. Having used Linux a lot over the past few years, I have gotten away with very little terminal/command line work. Most of my stuff was "automagically" detected when installing, or I was able to get the drivers I needed through GUI package managers like Synaptic. About the only thing I ever used the command line for was apt-get to snag items that weren't found using a package manager search. [/QUOTE]
