[-- Attachment #1 --] I think the subject speaks for itself. Has any one done a "blow by blow" comparison? As a Unix/Linux "newbie" with 28 years of programming experience on a variety of platforms, I haven't been able to get any sense on this subject, beyond the suspicion that the "difference" seems to have more to do with Unix politics than Unix technical issues. I intend to use Linux/Unix as a development platform and also as a "home user system" in place of OS/2, which seems to be dying ... (I never liked MS Windows as far back as 2.11; the present offerings are not that impressive.) I have "tried" three different Linux distributions; the differences are for most part installation time cosmetics. Beyond that, the command line is the command line, X is X and so on. Why should I try FreeBSD?
