I used to use linux, and seem to remember that I liked it a lot. But, since using FreeBSD, I've forgotten what it was that I liked about Linux, I most certainly do not remember enough to compare the two. My best advice, would be to give FreeBSD a try, and learn it 'til you know as much about it as you do linux. Keep notes, so that you can answer this same question for others. Ugh... when I re-read that, it almost sounds like I've been brainwashed by FreeBSD... What's going on? Did someone slip some subliminal stuff into FreeBSD? :) --Troy -- Troy Settle Network Administrator, iPlus Internet Services http://www.i-Plus.net ( Stuff I said does not reflect the company I work ) ( for unless I'm speaking on behalf of said company )
