I was into Linux before it was the "Cool" thing to do. I have recently began my journey with FreeBSD, and I'm really enjoying it thus far. In fact, I have decided to use it on all of my production servers. You will read a thousand posts, various articles, and journals about the pros and cons of these operating systems. This will cause some confusion because someone will convince you that this is better than that, then another author will make a very strong case in the other direction. In the end,neither of these technologies is superior to the other. Each of them have goods and bad attributes that will determine what your experience will be. To really get a feel for these technologies you need to install and use them long enough to form your own opinion. Having experience with both of these will do nothing but benefit you. --Nick On Fri, 11 Feb 2005 23:13:27 -0500, Peterhin wrote: > Good day, I am a Newbie to Freebsd and was just reading your reply > "Re.
