Single Point of Failure

..If you haven't figured out what it is, it's probably too late to do anything about it.

Change of heart / depth of geekiness

I've just been reading the installation instructions for freeBSD, and I like it. I might end up going with BSD, as I've looked (albeit briefly) at 16 different Linux distros, and besides Tiny, haven't seen one that is truly designed for what I want - which I probably should clarify at this point:

I want a small distro that will work well with old hardware.
I want a proper install, no partition, no run-in-RAM stuff.
I will have to install from floppy, at least the basics, and then get the rest over the net. *This is the tricky part, but BSD seems to be somewhat friendly with this concept, I just have to figure out all the details....
