As I build my li'l brother a new box for school, I would love to put
FreeBSD, (or even Linux if I had to) on it, especially when faced with
$$$ for WinXP. Unfortunately, for him to get support at school (small
music school, too far away for me to support him), it's got to be either
Windows or Mac. I'm considering talking him into a Mac/OSX, but I can
build him something MUCH cheaper, even if it does get WinXP. Too bad I
can't build him a Mac!
