EU and FreeBSD

Honestly, the only problem I had with FreeBSD was with printing, which I
resolved last night. I'm still learning the file structure and using the
ports system and CVSup'ing. I have yet to install EUPHORIA for FreeBSD,
which I want to do RealSoonNow(tm) and I don't expect will be difficult. (Is
there an installer for EU FreeBSD like there is for Windows?)

The reason I'm going FreeBSD is because I'm SICK AND TIRED of Microslop
software. SICK SICK SICK of it. I just had a "Windows compatible" program
screw up my entire system (almost) as I installed it, such that printing and
the MS Office suite were disabled. I'm still trying to get MS Office back,
but at least I'm printing (from Windows) again, at the moment.
There's nothing I do in Windows that I need Windows for. And if I can use
OpenGL or SDL for programming graphics, I'll be set. The only reason I keep
a partition for Winblows is games...
