> easy to learn between: FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, QNX > or Linux. I was determined to find an alternative to Windows98 and as such I tried all of these. I settled on FreeBSD because: - it runs on my machine and I was able to configure -all- my hardware - I found the doc's at freebsd.org far & away better than anyone else's - To me it's got the best balance between ease-of-use<=>power OpenBSD won't boot my machine properly. NetBSD is more sparse than FreeBSD but it runs on just about anything. Of the linux's I like Debian & Slackware (couldn't get any of the others to install) but they're complex compared to the *BSD's. Linux has better support for more weird hardware than the *BSD's. QNX froze my machine repeatedly, just like Windows; something I've never seen FreeBSD or Linux do.
