The popularity of MS-win is due to marketing and market manipulation first by IBM/Microsoft, then by Microsoft/IBM and now by Microsoft. Despite what some MS advocates say, it has little to do with the quality of the system > I am beginner and I don't understand why a lot of people say that > FreeBSD it's cool..... Why? FreeBSD is superior for serious computing work and as a server system. > What do you prefer FreeBSD or Windows??? Generally FreeBSD for almost everything, but I am stuck with MS for some things and so I use it too, but with ever present fear of getting trashed by the latest defect. > This mailing list is dedicated to FreeBSD. I know that users of > FreeBSD more than users of Windows.... > Please try understand me correctly. Thanks for any answer! There are dozens, probably hundreds, of postings and articles writen on this subject. Try Google or some other search engine and you will be inundated with commentary - some of it even fairly thoughtful and useful amidst the emotional diatribes. If you REALLY want to know the value of FreeBSD, install it and use it for some serious computer work such as running a network server or doing significant databases or numerical proessing. You need to use it long enough to become truely familiar and to get past your MS habits. Then it will begin to dawn on you. So, do some Googling. By, the way, this sort of flame inviting post that you made is often seen as a post from a troll just trying to get an argument going. But, I have answered as if you meanth it seriously. So don't try and get a flame war going. Instead, do some studying and get some experience by trying it out. ////jerry > > -- > Best regards, Denis > intraden@mail.ru > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
