Yeah, I mean i installed FreeBSD and ended up writing the menu file, or editing it, that to me was fun, and kinda expected.
I like freebsd as Nethack vulture works which is a really nice isometric nethack game, I need to load it back up again and keep playing. that amulet is there, somewhere lurking in the dark.
However when you are trying to convince a very frustrated windows user Linux is a great alternative this sort of thing doesn't really help.
