That is without consideration for ANY differences in the architecture or internals, and purely from a user perspective. The things I'm having problems with under FreeBSD (minicom, ppp, console behavior, memory utilization, fvwm95, etc, etc) all work flawlessly under Debian Linux. And no, I haven't looked at the mail list that Doug pointed you to myself, and don't really care to invest the time in it to be honest. To be candid, the likelihood is very good, that for me, any of the very real technical differences are simply a "don't care" at this point. For what I do with it, and attempting to do much the same with FreeBSD, I've been far more successful with Linux, in spite of what the technocrats might say about the differences. Period.
