[Tfug] Beryl

YES IT DOES.
It is like Ubuntu installation. Everything WILL run out of box + you will
have your Beryl.
Of course you will later need to add some packages but you will learn how to
use ports
It is better system even than the Debian package manager.
Dependancies are automatically solved.
Let me know how it goes.
