[PLUG] FreeBSD.

[Rajak]

Yes, FreeBSD is a rather nice OS, with much of the usability of Linux and
still solid like a BSD. Install is very nice, with lots of easy
configuration options, and upgrading and installing new packages is
simple. Its as stable and fast as Linux on good machines, although I hear
nasty rumours about it on older machines. So you probably don't want to
stick it on your 386... If you are a dedicated Linux user its going to
seem a little strange at first because BSDs change a lot of teh command
line options for commands like route, but you will get the hang of it.
ultimately it comes down to you DLing the source and trying it out.. The
only thing I have found truly annoying about freebsd is that I don't like
their internet community as much.. freebsd users tend on the most part to
be rather condescending of Linux users nad a bit more haughty in my
opinion... Anyways, thats my thought on it, now go try it out..
