Hope this helps, and I hope I don't get banned from the e-mail list. Ha!
Fact: Linux is a UNIX clone, BSD is a UNIX based OS. Having installed the
following: Linux - RedHat, Debian, Slackware, and several others, I found
the Linux strain quirky and erratic at times, with unexplainable lockups and
system downtime. Having installed FreeBSD 2.2.5 thru 3.2-RELEASE, I have
found the OS to be "SOLID as a ROCK" in almost every aspect, at which time I
dropped any notion of ever installing another Linux box. I have been able to
accomplish the following under BSD and have them work as advertised: A
Firewall, Proxy Server, Apache 1.3.6 Web Server, Email Server (Internet) -
all with minimal configuration and troubleshooting. The KDE 1.0 and higher
works great under BSD - where as under Linux I pulled every last-living hair
out of my head. $@$@$# Ha!

Thanks for your help.
