I don't think this just me echoing your ideas, but they do jibe
with my experience with FBSD since 1995. As a server, things-BSD
are unbeatable. As a desktop, bzzzt. Ubuntu wins there; mostly
for fun-stuff, true. Audio/video apps just work. HEre, it's
beyond painful. And having gone thru a torturous 7+ week server
migration, I don' need no mo' misery. --That coughed up, I have
to add that the friendships and support of this tiny bunc hh of
geek has been outstanding.
