Isn't anybody worried that the new O'Reilly books in the making will leave the newbie w/the short end of the stick paper documentation-wise? Imo, this is the current state of affairs. wait a second, But upon refection, I have been realizing that I am DIRECTLY comparing WinNT and FreeBSD and I now think it's apples vs. oranges. A fairer comparison is FreeBSD WITH KDE vs. WinNT. I know I'll be publicly flogged for saying this but NT is easier to learn and is apparently an easier OS to document for the newbie ( by is very nature and culture ) than Unix a.k.a. FreeBSD. I am primarily talking about CLIENTS - yeah I think NT workstation is a good client. Kneejerks that it crashes is not true Imo. But, I'm immature: I think I should get w/the program and start thinking of FreeBSD as a server and NOT continue trying to configure and learning it as an ultra-stable ( x ) windows client machine - cause I'm in that "mode" and I saw the "answer" months ago - KDE w/all the bells and whistles - truly amazing. so, x windows works, I can use Netscape if I have to. I think I have to explore the "core" of FreeBSD - as the ultimate internet server OS vs. client. Whatdya think?
