I am not so sure if this will work. At least not on my machine. I did a standard install as I expect to replace this installation with FreeBSD when I have a bit more time at hand.

I noticed meanwhile two problems which are show stoppers for normal users. After the notebook was put to sleep, it was literally put to sleep, at least partially. I could not fire out what was wrong as the user interface still worked. I got many error messages that writes to sockets failed. So, I assume writing to sockets died.

The next thing are updates. After downloading some 600MB of updates via the GUI tool, I could not install a single package with it anymore. I have had to go to the console and use yum install to get things installed.

If a user manages this, the same user will manage FreeBSD too.

If a user does not manage this, Windows will be back on the machine.

Yeah, FreeBSD is also very easy for me to handle. For my wife? No, she complains then that this was working under Windows even when she never saw it working under Windows.
