My problem with Linux was with documentation. I'm just learning *nix for the first time and needed a lot of concise information. I found it hard to pick up a Linux book and be able to figure out "what" was "where" and how to transfer that information to the installation I was using....even if I was trying the distribution that came packaged with the book I was reading! FreeBSD is quite the opposite. I can pretty much "trust" what I read to be true to what is really going on with any given BSD system I'm trying to work with. Mazen S.
