Hello BSDers...

I was looking to shove something unix-like into my machine over the summer --
preferably something based rather heavily on BSD.  I saw an ad for the FreeBSD
CD-ROM at Walnut Creek CDROM (cdrom.com) in Concord, California.  I would like 
to know how many people have installed their FreeBSD from this CD-ROM, how
they like the OS, how easy/difficult/stimulating it is to install...just need
some basic info.  Don't tell me what the OS does, just tell me your opinion
of it.

Of course, if there are any really neat features that I wouldn't know about
because I don't poke around in the BSD community, then tell me.

Please email your responses, if any...I don't read newsgroups often, and the
ones that I do read end up really crowded.  Thanx.
