Hello Everybody:

I am a Linux user. I use mostly RedHat and Fedora.
I am planning to use freeBSD. I never used freeBSD.

Would anyone please explain:

What is the benefit of freeBSD over Linux?
Why should I consider freeBSD instead of Linux?
What are the current drawback of freeBSD compared to Linux?

Thanks
Mohammad
