I'm trying to decide between Linux and FreeBSD 2.1.  What are the
differences, advantages/disadvantages of each?  Does one make a better
Web server than the other.

I tried to pick up a copy of FreeBSD in the Dallas, Tx. area
today (called, called and drove). No luck! I found Linux everywhere.  I
know I can order FreeBSD, but that's just the impatient person I am ;>

The main reason I am considering FreeBSD is that I was very disappointed
with the lack of (or my inability to find) ppp connectivity in the
Slackware 2.2 with the 1.2.1 kernel.

I didn't see any mention of this in your FAQ...

Any comparison of Linux to FreeBSD would help.

Thanks in advance.
