I like freebsd because there is just one version and one set of developers. My question is where is freebsd going in its development? Linux is obviously shooting towards a more user friendly desktop. They are certainly getting support from the big names. Will freebsd be moving towards a more user friendly installation and user friendly desktop? If all these companies like corel start developing apps for linux, will they be usable on freebsd? I like freebsd but I do not wnat to put a big investment in it and be left out in the cold so to speak. If anyone has any comments or opinions I would be happy to here them. Bye the way. I have a zip tape I have used in linux with its file system on it. Any way to read this in freebsd?
