I've setup several servers on RH, for different purposes of course, but none of them too more than, I'd say 2 hours for the partitionaing, OS install, and configure of base servers, everything.

Consequently, I don't have a BSD box running right now. The only complaint I really have with it, since every OS has it's little quirks, is that it does not seem to be quite up to date with hardware.
