Yeah I started out with UV and I wouldn't recommend it at all.  Its hard to
generate a really good mask and vias are a pain.

I haven't tried milling though.  Markus do you use a soldermask?  How do yo
do vias?  I looked at a rivet press thingy that was designed to do vias by
hand but it was $600 or something for a hand tool so I decided to just buy
boards, but sometimes the wait is really annoying.
