Knowing they wanted to hear "Linux" from lips, I told them if they wanted user level applications, they should choose Linux, but if they wanted to use it for servers and other serious stuff they should prefer FreeBSD. Their experiment with 20 linux PCs failed (to difficult to maintain!), but now that they learned some things I can send them a copy of my FreeBSD CD (we bought a PLASMON!). In those days, version 2.0.5 was available, today version 2.1.6īs usersland is far away and very near to Linux. Thanks for the chat, it was illustrative on what to expect from FreeBSD, and I still have no doubt FreeBSD will grow and native versions will arrive, but itīs good to have Linux around. :) best regards, Pedro.
