I've been using SuSE linux for 3 years now, and i thought that now is a good time to go to the next level so to speak. Now i know very little about freebsd so if you could just maybe point out the diffrences between FreeBSD and linux. One notable question is what filesystem does it work and what kind of microkernel does it use. ie Mach comes to mind. i'm not sure though. Also how compaible is it with linux and how does the kernel compiling works. Is it the same as linux or not. also where can i get freebsd, = not download, on CD the cheaper the better. And how much does it go for ? Thanks.
