The kernel of FreeBSD is also writeen at higher level than Linux's, but the situation is rapidly changing. I'm now using FreeBSD as my internet server, but during 3 years of using FreeBSD it also was stucked due to power fault and did not restarted automatically because of fs fault. it happened twice during these years maybe you consider that it is not often but anyway it happened. As for linux, I see the improvements that I do not see in FreeBSD. 1. Both systems need Journaling File Systems. (there are three projects for linux: reiserfs, xfs (SGI) and jfx (IBM)). I did not hear of any for FreeBSD. 2. I need good commercial SQL server for FreeBSD. (not MySQL, mSQL, PostgreSQL and so on...) May be there are some but did not find them and if you know where I can download them any information is appreciated. For linux I already downloaded Oracle SQL and Sybase SQL. There are also DB2 and Informix SQL-s. 3. I also need clustering solutions for both of these systems. I heard about mosix for linux, what about BSD? ---------- I like BSD very much, but if situation does not change I think that I'll have to svitch to Debian GNU/Linux. Besides they added some functionality to their distribution like (for example automatic updating of software from security.debian.org). So when a security hole is found the system upgrades itself. As for dicumentation, for linux there are a lot of HOWTOs. Where can I find such documentation for FreeBSD? (only www.freebsddiary.org ???). Don't treat me wrong, but I like both FreeBSD and Linux. Both of them are stable, both of them are open source. But what I see is that Linux is developing faster for me that is very important.
