I've been considering installing FreeBSD on my computer, and was wondering 
what others think of this OS.  My main inclination for wanting to install
FreeBSD is that I finally got everything working correctly under Linux (my
current OS).  I was    wondering  How does FreeBSD compare to other Unix's?     

How is the install routiene?  Is Walnut Creek the only source for FreeBSD 
CD-ROM's?  Thanks in advance for any assistance.
