I could not find neither in the FAQ or the handbook a basic comparison of FreeBSD with Linux or Netbsd. This is commonly asked and can be done in a way that will be objective: Sample: Linux is an unix ..... developed by Linus.... and is in a constant state of change due to the number of people that are involved in its development. NetBSD is based on the BSD .... and it has its emphasis in cross platform compatibility. FreeBSD has a core team which help improve its estability. However this does not mean that it is a closed environment in which ideas or participation from people outside this team are not accepted. On the contrary the core team encourages others to get involved and once they are familiar with FreeBSD and they have build a trusting relationship with the Coreteam the person can either become part of the core team or be given access to contribute code to the project directly without much intervention from the Core team members. Moreover FreeBSD is based on BSD ...... which has been proven to be a successful implementation of Unix long before Linux was created....
