I think Linux is the optimum option for a desktop user, however i'm quite eager to become familiar and learn about FreeBSD and its administration. There exists a "linux on a cd" distro called Knoppix. Quite useful if you wanna have Linux without installation and wonder around. I was wondering if there is anything similar for FreeBSD ?? alternatively is there any FreeBSD emulator under Linux ? Bottom line is, I want to use and play around with FreeBSD without installing it. Any suggestions as to what I can do ? Thanks Shane
