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!
