I'm very much a newbie and don't understand the ins and outs of the different os'. I'm finding that redhat linux has more applications and support available online. However, I have heard that freebsd outshines linux. It'd be great to get some advise on the advantages and disadvantages of the different systems. Why go with FreeBSD? Thanks for your help. -Tony To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
