Can anyone please tell me the difference between the two? Which one is more stable? Which one is easier to install and maintain? How many applications can each operating system run? Is there something that Linux can do and FreeBSD can't do or vice versa? Any answer is greately appreciated. Thanks in advance! Jack hou@cs.ucla.edu
