NetBSD is spending a lot of time doing stuff to make BSD portable and they have made some enhansements to the system that are very nice.. however so has FreeBSD, ant freeBSD has concentrated more on making the system friendly to newer users.. NetBSD is for people who already know what they are doing.. Once you are comfortable with it you can always shift over from one to the other.... And the two camps DO talk.. > > I would like to know what is the difference between freebsd and netbsd. what > are some of the advantage/disadvantage of each. Thank you. > >
