IMHO - FreeBSD is far more useful for the user who prefers a more hard-coded
unix. While it doesn't have the all-out flexibility and support that linux
boasts, it's clear tha it definately is more succint and easy to install with
various users, depending on their configuration. What do you think?
Cheers,
Mike.
