While reading this comment, all through it right until the last word, I thought you sounded like an accustomed Windows user fresh into Linux territory, wayward and misguided by some unknowledgeable sources. Every single pain point you listed can be summed up simply by, as you said, "I have no idea how they work". At that last word: it all went further confusing. I don't see how FreeBSD doesn't have a permissions model, or text-edited configs, or has installer wizards (yuck!). Did you mistype 'OS X' as 'FreeBSD'?
