Easier installs, especially network installs -- and runs the first time on more platforms. The FreeBSD Ports collection is the most accessible and easiest to use library of free software packages in the business. Better track record with regard to security holes. Survey Bugtraq; far more Linux bugs than FreeBSD bugs appear. Unencumbered by the GPL. You can really USE the code! More and better courseware and documentation out there than for any other operating system, bar none. Why? Because it's Berkeley UNIX! Better drivers -- especially for Intel Etherexpress Pro and other best of breed cards. Yahoo and Hotmail use it in preference to Linux. Can run all of its own software PLUS 99% of all Linux software. Uses the networking stack upon which all others are based. And more.... --Brett Glass To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
