Hello all of you,
I want to install either FreeBSD or NetBSD on my Intel-PC. However I am not
sure which one I should prefer. I do know that they both are build around
BSD4.4Lite and thus must be rather similar (to some extent).
But are there major differences? If so - which are the differences?
And last but not least: Which one do you think is the more stable one? - I do
not want to spend my time debugging kernels, device drivers etc. (yet)...
I just want to gather some information, so please don't start threads like:
My <add your flavour>BSD is better than <the other flavour>BSD. (At least not
without giving some detailed reason ;-)
Best regards and many thanks in advance
Stephan
