I had used this system occasionally since version 4 and alwa= ys I had prefer it on Linux. However, Debian GNU Linux was my most used sys= tem in the past because for me it is simpler. Another argument was the long= compilation time of certain applications in FreeBSD with old computers. To= day, the increase in speed of computers permit me use FreeBSD without long = delays in adapt each machine. I use 12 computers in my classes with scienti= fic software (R specially). Also, I believe that Linux is beginning to be t= oo much slow. I am suffering problems with drivers, stability and minor mis= takes that in previous version of Linux kernel I had not observed. I like t= he coherence of FreeBSD, the stability and speed of process. This system is= incredible fast and robust. I like very much the process of compilation an= d adaptation to each machine. I expect to learn a lot of this system with t= his list and the excellent handbook and introduce to my colleagues and stud= ents in the use of FreeBSD.
