Hello freebsd-newbies, I'm wondering why you picked freeBSD over other distros. I'm getting ready to build my first Linux box and I admit, I have not fully researched all the options yet, but am looking at freeBSD on the recommendation of, well, my son. I take him seriously as he is already running linux (though not freeBSD as yet - that's his and my upcoming project), he and his friends are no slouches at this stuff, typical techie teenagers, and have the time to do such things. I have less. However, I'm interested in what the actual user community has to say. I get the impression there is significant support available, apps and drivers are available and configurable and it's not a nightmare to run. But that's just an impression and I haven't compared it enough with anything else. So if anyone cares to venture a point of view, I'd be interested to hear it. Thanks! :) -- Trish mailto:failte@sentex.net
