BSD is more the terrain of the developers and Linux for the hackers. Linux has it all, but its not all thought through, not all documented and can be buggy.

Just look at the boot up of the kernel of the systems. -- Best regards/Met vriendelijke groet, Alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
