Once a distro goes into beta 3, most of the major choices are in place. In looking at the 3rd testing versions of distributions, one can get a fairly good idea of what a distro might be like once it’s released. The only experience I’ve had with a BSD clone or derivative was with my PC-BSD review some months ago. That install was as simple as 1, 2, 3… or click, click, click. I’d heard the horror stories about other BSD installs, yet downloaded 6.0 beta 3 with hope. Was this going to be a brain-burning, hair-pulling, data-losing proposition? What happened with my attempted FreeBSD 6.0 Beta 3 install?
