    I tend to learn by repeating something, working
    through mistakes, over and over too. Maybe
    that's why I have to re-install all the time.
    Then again, maybe it's cause I love to tinker.
    ;) Although I must say, FreeBSD holds up to my
    tinkering a lot better than Linux did. Probably
    because it's an easier system to administer.

    When I discovered Portupgrade, I was looking for
    a way to upgrade installed packages from January.
     I was truely blown away when 'portupgrade -af'
    and about 24 hours of waiting (dial-up
    connection) produced what seemed a new computer!
    It even upgraded KDE from 3.0.5 to 3.1.1a!

    Yes, script maintainers rock. All hail the
    FreeBSD team! Woohoo!!! :D
