I agree. Truth be told the older I get the tinkering has lost its luster. I just want to get Sh%5 done. I don't have time to keep reading mailing lists and commit logs the first half of my day anymore to keep up on all the hacks, tricks, knobs, comments on HW etc. I just need to get things done. I think Ill kick the tires on TrueOS this weekend. As you said it seems to have some awesome features that would make my network/deployment life easier than stock FreeBSD.
