     Before everyone jumps down my throat, I'd like to back up to basics.
I have never even SEEN a system running either FreeBSD or Linux so go
easy on me.  We were thinking about playing around with one of these and
we are undecided as to which one.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to
which one of the two might be easier to install or get used to?  I've
read some of the posts and I realize I'll get (heated) answers for both 
but that's great.  The system: 486-100 8MB 850MB CD 1.44
     Does everyone order the CD from Walnut Creek or are there better
and/or cheaper places?  Is it better to D/L it?
