FreeBSD is one of the best documented open source operating systems out there. Have you looked at the hand book(http://www.freebsd.org/doc/ en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/)? That's a great starting point. I would also recommend purchasing a few books regarding the FreeBSD operating systems. Go to bn.com and simply type in FreeBSD, it will return several good books. How about Dru Lavigne's columns over at onlamp, http://www.onlamp.com/pub/ct/15 . There are so many resources out there you just have to go get em.

Redhat GNU/Linux is a UNIX-like system too, so there are definitely good things to gain from that system. As UNIX-like systems, FreeBSD and the Redhat GNU/Linux distributions share a lot of common 'design' attributes, and many features are implemented in very similar ways. My own recommendation would be to try *both* systems. My own personal preference is greatly in support of FreeBSD, but that is just that: a personal preference for the way the FreeBSD releases work, the way the FreeBSD team operates, and the way the overall 'FreeBSD experience' tends to match my style of work. > well, am i on the right path? are there any similarities between RHCT/ > RHCE and FreeBSD. thanks alot with regards. YAHYA WAFULA OJWANG. > CAIRO. EGYPT There are both similarities and differences. It's not easy to guess what *you* would prefer, in advance.

Technically, both have advantages und disadvantages. To my mind, personal preferences are important when deciding for an operating system. Thus, I'd never blame anyone for using Linux or Windows or whatever else.
