PC-BSD

Still fooling around with this, but no joy as of now.  The install CD booted up, but the default install would not recognize the keyboard, so I didn't get very far.  Tried a "safe"  mode install next.  That got past the keyboard issue.  I went through the install wizard and it created the file system, installed the OS (supposedly), and got to the point where it was asking for CD2.  My CD2  isn't being seen by the system, so it let me cancel that and just start PC-BSD from there.  I let it reboot.  The bootloader came up, I chose the PC-BSD partition, but then it went into an auto-boot cycle.

I'll come back to it after I experiment with the 64-bit version of Ubuntu 7.10, to see if the Flash workarounds are sufficient to justify installing that OS on the new tablet.
