FreeBSD is higher performance, more stable, more unix-like, and more
consistent in its releases as there is only one verion.

Linux (I hear) is easier, has a lot of applications, a larger user base,
and more printed info.

Please don't CC me in this thread if you reply to my opinions. I have no
interest in a LTR with the Linux v FreeBSD debate.

Thank you,       | Try some of this. It will show you where you're at.
