For me it was the other way around. In 2000/2001 I had zero experience with anything *nix apart from a couple of failures to get anything Linux to run, but on the first try with OpenBSD I managed to get it up and running in no time. I've always considered their installer to be simple, explaining, understandable and straightforward.

That's right around the same time I first started tinkering with Linux, and I had a similar experience. I didn't know about BSD at the time, but it took me weeks to get my first Gentoo install up and running. That being said, the amount I learned throughout the process made the experience absolutely worth the hassle. Then it was just a matter of getting the conexant chipped dial-up modem to work...
