Concerning how long does it take to install netbsd or freebsd. About 2 hours
or less if you can read instructions. Or if you are really smart and read the
list of supported hardware to verify that your hardware configuration is 
supported the task can be very painless. It is not a big effort 
to write a boot floopy which can  help you install the free unix systems from
lets say a cdrom. 
Yes the freeunix groups are working on it so do expect a big improvement in 
the near future.

Again, don't forget we have pearl and tcl to help us write sophisticated
installation tools.

Before anyway starts flaming me I have written installation procedures
for many packages which I have worked on ( I have over 13 years of 
experience as a professional software engineer)
