I'm currently a user of Linux (kernel 1.1.59/Slackware 2.1.0 distribution to be exact). I'm wondering, what differences exist between Linux and FreeBSD. These differences include: 1.) Available software, including binaries from other systems/OSes. 2.) Licensing agreements. 3.) Developement. I'd appreciate any light you could shed on these differences. For now, I'm happy running Linux. But I am quite interested in running a copy of FreeBSD in addition.
