Let me take the opportunity to jump into this Linux-bashing thread,
and ask a related question.
I am a long time Linux user who have for quite a while been aware of
the *BSDs, planning to try it out. Since a couple of weeks, I've
had FreeBSD installed on an extra machine.
No bad experiences so far. A lot of reading had to be done, but that
was expected. But to sum up my experience somewhat naively, I would
say: this is like Linux, just a lot of small differences.
So my question to you would be: can you tell my just why I should hang
in there? Why do you prefer FreeBSD? What will I discover if I stay
that is not obvious at first sight?
I know this could be regarded as flame-bait, but since this
Linux-bashing was already started, I was thinking I could perhaps jump
in and ask that the discussion be steered towards some information for
us FreeBSD-newbies.
Best,
Jesper
