FreeBSD is plain EVIL!! It destroyed my computer once. I dont recommend using it if you're a newbie.

Nixcraft, I am NOT a newbie to UNIX or UNIX clones. I use GNU/Linux as my desktop OS. BUT FreeBSD was JUST PLAIN EVIL!!! It destroyed all my PARTITIONS EVEN THOUGH I didnt select those partitions to be used. The irony of the situation is that it jacked Linux, Windows which were on a complete separate harddrive :(

daj123, such a thing did not happen with me, and neither my 2 friends. Though the partition manager is a little cryptic but its not an issue if you've installed debian before. You must have made mistake i believe!

which release were you trying anyways?
