Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I was just wondering after reading through the freeBSD home page why you think someone should use freeBSD instead of Linux. I mean, everyone I know uses Linux and there are tons of books out there on Linux and from what I've seen Linux comes with more programs than freeBSD. I am not set on using either one in particular, I just want to use the one that is the most versatile, most stable, and preferably the most used since that is the one likely to become a standard. From what little I know it seems that Linux has freeBSD beat, so please tell me what , if anything, makes freeBSD a more logical choice for me.
