Hey!!!!

This thread originally started out with
	"Is there any advantages/disadvantages between FreeBSD or Linux?"

Two people said "try both", then the thread rapidly deteriorated to 
the above. The same with another thread, Vernon and Metz go crazy on 
nfs/networking code issues.   

As a user of FreeBSD I'd like to be able to tell someone what he
can expect from Linux, but I don't use it and don't plan on installing it. 
But I would like to see some rational comparisons. 

If this is in the FAQ, .......oops. Haven't read it lately.

Thanks.
