Please excuse the obvious newbie question here but I'm trying to understand what the pro's and con's are of using FreeBSD vs Linux in an embedded appliance scenario. The marketing people seem to feel that Linux should be the OS of choice since there is a higher level of consumer acceptance, while the technical staff feels that FreeBSD is preferable due to it's superior TCP/IP stack. Of course, I haven't been able to find any technical comparisons between the two so I thought I'd ask the experts :-) Thanks, Graham To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
