Well, It'd be more accurate to say that Linux is like FreeBSD not the other way around. :) FreeBSD seems to me to be a lot more stable then Linux in general. IE, I'm running FreeBSD 4.2, not Redhat Kernal 6.x with Kernal Version whatever, whatever. When I CVSUP up to the latest and greatest I do not suddenly have a whole bunch of new problems due to incompatibilities. I also like the the FreeBSD philosphy over the Linux one. FreeBSD Core team members are dedicated to making the best server OS that they can. They for the most part could care less if any one else used it. (Not that they take that to extremes, ever member of the Core team I've ever talked to and met have been nice guys with lots of knowledge.) Whereas Linux's direction is very reminiscint of Microsoft, Linux MUST be installed on every computer in the world - or else. :) Linux is a good OS. FreeBSD is a great OS. :) Rick ******************************************************************* Rick's FreeBSD Web page http://heorot.1nova.com/freebsd Ace Logan's Hardware Guide http://www.shatteredcrystal.net/hardware ***FreeBSD - The Power to Serve! http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
