Haha. Fair enough.
I'll respond to your question while I'm here though. \o/
Although, I don't use Linux... The best distrobution I'd ever used was Slackware. Of course, that was LONG before Gentoo and a few other supposedly superior distrobutions came out.
I use FreeBSD (As you know) and I love every minute of it. I mostly stick to 4.X at the moment due to 5.X not being what I "must have" yet. But, I've heard a few somewhat goofed things about 5.X that I don't particularly agree with. And, apparently there are a lot of others who don't agree as well. There is a FBSD-4.X-based OS that's being released as of late called "DragonFly" which is being developed my a man whom contributed to the FBSD project. If you'd like to read more, visit [url=

I would say just play around and learn what you like and what you're looking for (Which is sounds like you're doing). You're on the right track! It just gets a little more frustrating as you get older and don't have all the time in the world to pick at a system anymore.
Good luck to ya',

I would say, go ahead and play with what you want to. You should be capable
