 Feels Nice, 2001-02-03
Bought the powerpack and I was very impressed after installation. it was the only system besides Win2k to recognize my CD-RW correctly an both of my Ethernet adapters. It feels very stable and rocksolid, doesnt have that patched together feel that some *nix Operating Environments have. The installation was the same as in 4.0 but seemed a litte quicker the way it done things. Setting it up was very easy to do and getting it running was a no-brainer. I am impressed with the package management features it has in the /stand/sysinstall program. Another great aspect of not just FreeBSD but other BSD's is the ports collection. it contains all kinds of different software to make your system that much better Overall I gave it 4 stars because there is room for improvement. But keep up the great work!
