Which is better? Linux or FreeBSD? Which one is more stable/better for networking as an Internet Service Provider, a news server and a tape backup machine? What I heard is, FreeBSD is more stable on networking performance, am I right? Correct me if I'm wrong! From my point of view, I see, there are more technical support in the net for Linux, like more newsgroups, lots of HOW-TO documentation, web pages, lots more hardware compatibility, etc... seems more people know/use Linux than FreeBSD. So, which one is better overall? So any opinion? Drop me a line to my mailbox, I'm gonna post this into couple newsgroups, it would be easier to keep track if you could drop me a copy at the same time as you post on the newsgroups. Thanks in advance, I really appreciate it. Alan Chan...
