I downloaded the FreeBSD CD image and it looks "promising".  The X
support was second to none with all the latest servers and window
managers (and associated libraries) but the rest of it isn't quite up to
scratch yet.  The kernel doesn't (officially) do SMP and it didn't want
to know about my cheapy 100Mbps Realtek network card.

I eagerly await version 4.00.
