I guess, because there are no sales representatives givi= ng people advice about FreeBSD, people feel more confident when they get some advice from a mailing list about what sought of hardware people have used t= o successfully do some task or other. Especially, when this involves buying something expensive. But in general, why are you using/ not using operating system 'x' is not a = good question because there are so many variables and you can't compare the results in any really conclusive way. The best thing is to just try it, and anyway, *with FreeBSD the software it= self will not cost you any money*. Maybe you will be surprised, maybe you won't = be. I mean there is no single specific task that general purpose OSs like FreeB= SD are designed for. > > - Advantages > - Disadvantages > > When "Disadvantages" is NOT evaluated sufficiently well , the results > mostly will be unpredictable .
