Yeah, learned the same. I takes some time in the beginning to get familiar with things in Linux, like how everything works and all other things. And by that time I actually destroyed my system
many times :) Especailly when I start trying out bash commands as root haha That was really long time ago. Those were the beginnings...

Yes I tried many Linux distributions and only with Arch I'm satisfied. Actually I didn't try all distros of course, because they are many. But I read about them. One by one. Talk to other people using
them. Asked them different questions and many distros I tried but when I found out about Arch I felt I'm at home :) In the same time I found out about PC-BSD but somehow it happened I installed Arch
first, to try it. Right now I'm typing you this message from the same Arch installation :) So I never tried anything else since that time. I'm still curious about BSD because never try it before. I
used OS X on G5 for 2 years in the office but OS X is different than BSD right?

Must to buy another PC or laptop for testing. P4 3.0GHz? My current PC is like 3 years old and it's P4 3.2GHz HT :) Still using integrated graphic on motherboard and I'm happy :))
