How big is the USB, and do you have a clue about BSD?

Good plan but easybsd is not for beginners it is a bit tricky and uses the lilo bootloader I think.

Yeah, been using linux for quite sometime, not a n00b, but not an expert so I've got enough wits about me to figure it out, just want a new challenge :)
