I'm primarily a Linux user (and a Unix guru for nearly two
decades).
I've found freebsd and linux to be equally problemsome -- most
of the time they're pain free.
I've found linux to boot more flexibly because you can:
have multiple distributions on one disk
loadlin seems to work well (there's a freebsd equivalent which
I had problems with in 2.2)
I just read Greg Lehey's book (really good) -- I'm going to install 3.2
soon...(thank god for Elf support -- now I can look into cross-compiling ;-))
Maybe your problem is you spent one minute on the system and 30 seconds
trying to log in...
Linux 1.0 needed a lot of work...2.2 seems very stable (I'm running
redhat 6.0 and haven't had a crash yet in about 9 months on a machine
which I do a lot of stuff on...)
If anyone has a real problem with rh6, there's lots of places to
get help from.
I'm really annoyed at this anti-Linux flaming...If you have specific
gripes, funny, but to say "it sucks"...come on!
