Firstly it has a mostly friendly and knowledgeable support group in the users and developers. Secondly the resources are a lot easier to find. Because so much FreeBSD information is contained in simple to find places such as the handbook, freebsddiary.org or the mailing lists and their archives I find the answer usually comes much sooner and more easily than most of my hunts for information about other OSes. Like most people here I find the BSD way to be one of the more intuitive systems so I certainly don't feel it's a nightmare to run, and that's just the basics too. Once you throw in goodies like the ports system life is positively blissful, in my opinion at least. It's probably not without fault though, I just tend to find I don't notice them because so much simply works so well. Kevin -- kevin@caomhin.demon.co.uk
