I have installed Linux on one of my computers and am learning to use it. But I have also been hearing of FreeBSD for quite a while and am now starting to inquire about it. It seems that FreeBSD is more reliable for networking applications (if I believe the info given on the few websites I've visited). I also know that there is a friendly rivalry between Linux and FreeBSD users (what, you're using [...]? Get a real OS!) But through all that, I'd like to get a no-bullshit comparison between both, just a few major differences that would make a person chose one over the other (kinda like saying, if you only want to use software, get a Mac, but if you want to program and play inside the machine, get an Amiga). If you could send me a small list of different uses for each OS (which would be better as a workstation, as a web server/proxy/firewall, etc, etc...) I'd very much appreciate it.
