Seeing as there is some Linux software out there, I was wondering if anyone has done a project with a FreeBSD box? A lot of these projects use DOS SVGA - how does FreeBSD compare in terms of performance/usability? What about Linux? experiences/advice/warnings welcome! I am already familiar with various "sucks" or "rules" opinions - stick to the topic plz! :) cheers, lazybones
