I hadn't recently decided to once again install a multi user OS. I wasn't quite sure what to get though. It comes down to Debian, FreeBSD, or Solaris7. I haven't any real specific purpose for using it. I will be on a desktop PC. Aside from using IRC, browsing a bit, and maybe getting into a bit of Python and/or C programming I haven't any lofty goals. I was wondering if you'd suggest FreeBSD given this situation? Or perhaps for a desktop PC you might think another is better. Sincerely, Adrian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
