FreeBSD is aiming towards a more stable system and both of them are pretty complete... For various reasons (some of which I've pointed out in other articles), that statement is fallacious. 1) First of all, neither group `supports' their users on anything but an `as time permits' basis. If you want a real support group, get BSDI. 2) I would hardly say that FreeBSD is `more stable'. I can think of many bugs right off the top of my head that are still in FreeBSD that have been fixed for quite a while in NetBSD.
