I have a weird luck with FreeBSD: it seems that every time I think about trying it, I find that it's just a month or so before a major version release. The first time I considered trying it was just before FreeBSD 10 was released; that laptop died and I later felt like giving it a go only to find myself twiddling my thumbs until 12 came out, and just last month I got permission to install VirtualBox on my work laptop (Windows) only to find that...

There's no Shockwave anymore; that killed the first attempt (I couldn't play iSketch with my friends). The second one ended because the Chromebook bricked. Third time is the charm, right?
