Argh, I came freshly from Linux (one month). Sure that Linux is full of conforts and now has also easy graphical installer, a sort of plug and play, the organization of "canned" type of installation without problem for build a 80% configured workstation, but believe me: ***just opinions is not more stable as FreeBSD; Mandrake GUI it freeze under some cases, Slackware is not the same system since a year, shlightly behind respect the others, Caldera it will become a bussines, RedHat is near to plug and play and near to become a corporation (in Italy the cd pro version costs more as Win2000 upgrade), Debian only grants the continuity with GNU ideas. I cannot detect when a Linux is stable and sure, lot of confusion. I *know* that FreeBSD run better on my old system (P200mmx, 64MbRam, Sis6326). Better performances in GUI environment, clearest possibililty of configuration. It's clear also for me that: I hope that some types of software (Oracle) become soon in FreeBSD or (better) GNU gives us valid alternatives. Hope that the manifacturers of hardware give more chances to FreeBSD. Someone tell that the interest of the manifacturers in Linux is justified by a bussines evolution of Linux system. This is a horror story huh? With instinct I choose FreeBSD and for now I be content. In the future, if FreeBSD it fall in the powder (hope no) maybe I'll try Debian with Hurd. But for now FreeBSD it seems me better! ***end of opinions Regards, Fabrizio To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
