...AND LOVES IT!!! :D

Yup, thats right, I'm giving it a look, and so far, I like what I see. I can't wait to try this on some better hardware, but for now, this old P4 1.6 ghz box will do. Did I mention it keeps up with my Celeron 2.8 ghz? It's true what they say, BSD is fast. I've configured my install with Gnome, got GDM working after some struggling, and I've begun installing the apps I normally use. Here's a screenshot for you all:

This definately requires further experimentation. I'm certain it will be fun.
