Hi,
sorry that there's a BUT, but I have to ask a few things before I
make this decision final.
-about the packaging system: how does it work? does it download and
install automatically the desired program as well as its dependencies?
Is it possible to upgrade the whole system à la apt-get dist-upgrade (if
it's not COULD it be available soon?)?
-Can I play Linux games (especially Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament)
-How does FreeBSD performs compared to Linux (in terms of stability,
speed, memory-usage, etc. (you can use comapraisons, like a Ferrari vs a
Civic, or whatever)
-I have the source code of a program made with Linux. Is it possible to
make it run under FreeBSD without means of emulation
-are there good sites (such as www.linuxnewbie.org) to help FreeBSD
newbies?
Thank you
wmHardRock
