I had some time on my hands so just went for it and installed FreeBSD 6. The
base system starts up ok so now I've got to start loading all the tools on
it. I've left plenty of drive space so I can dual boot windows and linux if
needs be so everything should be catered for.

Off to get wifi working...

They also have a live CD creator, so you can get BSD going the way you want it on your hard drive, then turn that custom distro into a live CD. That could come in handy if you want to run Windows or something else and don't want to dual boot.
