I don't want to claim BSD or Linux, I must say I'm using both BSD and Linux about 5 years. You're wrong about power failures: first you can switch to ReiserFS and after power failure you wouldn't be asked to do fsck. Journaling FS rocks, but I haven't seen any for FreeBSD. One I must say that *BSD under heavy load are more powerfull. -- Just GNU it. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
