Sorry ... didn't mean to offend you. But my point is exactly that BSD ain't straightforward even for an experienced Linux user like yourself. I know it wasn't easy for me.
If Ubuntu is *Linux for Human Beings* FreeBSD is the closest to a *BSD for Human Beings*. Yet 'tis more difficult than the geekiest Linux distros ... enjoy!!!
Flame bait! :P
I didn't imply that this is a bad thing. IMO this is good ... makes life interesting. Generally ease of use is a subjective thing ... but I hope that when comparing _FreeBSD_ with _Ubuntu_ we can reach an objective conclusion. That said I really don't like playing with fire ... so this is where I shut-up for good.
