: I'm fairly new to UNIX and would like to install either FreeBSD or
: Linux. I've installed Linux before but removed it.
: I was wondering if anyone had any experience with both systems and
: could possibly advise which one they would recommend and/or advantages
: and disadvantages of either systems.
Well... The major differences between them is that different people develop
them. But since they tend to loan code from each other, there is no
noticeable difference. I would say that their performance is identical.
The Linux project is bigger though, so it has more drivers and hardware
support. I use Linux mainly because it has a cool name... ;-)
(just kidding - I couldn't get freeBSD nor netBSD to run on my PS/2,
Linux runs nice however with MCA, ESDI & TokenRing...)
