I've heard some people say "FreeBSD networking code is better/more stable". I've heard some people say "Linux is more of a hackers OS and FreeBSD is better organized" (not a real technical reason but probably true). I've been using Linux for a few years, mainly because at the time it had the drivers for everything in my PC at the time. Now it appears FreeBSD may have everything I need. Should I switch? :) Thanks, Lee McKenna lee@iloop.com Oh yeah...will be using it for Apache, DNS, Sendmail, plus one or two other machines for general purpose "desktop"...nothing real industrial, rather simple I would say...
