Ive tryed Linux but im not fussed on my current distrbution so I am about to get hold of another but as Linux is being updated all the damn time I thougth i'd look at FreeBSD, what exactly are the pro's and the cons of both systems? They are both Unix which has got to be better than some of the terrible PC OS's (or OS) that is taking over (Need I mention dates and stuff!) . It would also be great if FreeBSD was released in ONE distribution or something unlike Linux? Any advice on what makes FreeBSD more attractive than Linux or whatever would be appreciated.
