It just is such a shame, but I cannot seem to run FreeBSD...ever... Something in FreeBSD always attracted me. I had nice experiences with GhostBSD and Nomad BSD, but for some reason, the real stuff just refuses to work. I tried on an Asus X75V laptop, an el-cheapo HP (something 15), a quadcore Dell Vostro 470, a Dell Optiplex 3100 (all of these had 4 Gig RAM) and a custom built Celeron machine (2Gig ram). Either the USB is not bootable, or the 802.11n wireless stick is not working, nor the Netgear that I have lying around, nor the builtin Realtek in the laptop, or the GUI is not working. I've read the handbook, manual pages and countless forum and internet pages...to no avail. My last ditch effort was with RC3 for version 13, as I had my hopes up that, just maybe, this time it could work. It ended with a two hour session trying to get Openbox to work and resulted in a mangled login manager. So I finally gave up.

This might be a top end system and I am just too dumb to get it working. Or, I just have sheer bad luck with my hardware choices and therefore it just doesn't work (?)... However, the end result is the same: I cannot use it.

So I can only say that I liked the pkg tool. It seems so much faster and more "logical" than the linux equivalents.
