I don't remember the particular question, so it may be worth asking it again, by a posting to our technical questions' mailing list: > right now an idea has come to my mind and i've been thinking of > enrolling for an RHCT & RHCE with a hope that i may gain substantial > knowledge to help me not only manage RedHat Linux but also FreeBSD > incase both have common performance. 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.

Hence my suggestion to try both systems and see for yourself :-) - Giorgos
