I have only been exposed to Linux, and never FreeBSD. *Almost* everyone I know runs Linux, except for one. And he's not around right now to help me :) I have had my curiosity peaked. What are the advantages/disadvantages of running FreeBSD instead of Linux? I am not extremely experienced in administering a unix type operating system and am anxious to learn it.
