Hey philo, have you ever fooled around with PC-BSD? Me and my brother have it loaded on some of our machines along with some of the computers having different flavors of Linux. If you have an extra drive laying around, give it a try. I haven't used the newest version of PC-BSD yet but was impressed by the older versions. 8-)

Many years ago I fooled with just about any OS I could get my hands on,
and still have a machine in my workshop with a removable drive
kit...where I have something like 20 different operating systems.


Though I have not used PC-BSD I was running Free_BSD for a while.

I still have an OS/2 installation, Solaris and several versions of Linux....


and pretty much all versions of Windows going all the way back to version 1

If you like fooling with operating systems here is one of my geeky favorites

Believe it or not, I have played around with it before and LMAO because the name reminded me of the old campy SciFi movie. ^_^
