I'll <BR>answer with the caveat that this is my opinion that developed over the <BR>past three years following them both as well as other commercial OSs. <BR>Those of you offended in any way by this, please cat flames > /dev/null. <BR> <BR>That said -- the differences between FreeBSD and Linux can best be <BR>understood in the context of American politics. There are essentially two <BR>philosophies: Republican (FreeBSD) and Democrat (Linux). <BR> <BR>The FreeBSD organization is a republican structure -- we have our say as <BR>users, but the final decisions devolve to the core team who take the final <BR>responsibility for their decisions. FreeBSD takes a conservative approach. <BR>In other words, better things should work correctly at the expense of a <BR>minorities desires, than to please all of the people all of the time and <BR>have unexpected components of the OS breaking on a regular basis. We are <BR>free to vote our approval or disapproval by changing our OS. <BR> <BR>Linux is a democratic group. There is no single authority to accept final <BR>responsibility except for Linus as it relates to the kernel. Linux adopted <BR>early on a consensus approach (POSIX, etc.). In a sense, Linux is much <BR>like current Democratic politics -- the mob pretty much rules. The end <BR>result is that there is really no such thing as Linux -- there are <BR>distributions that use the Linux kernel and from then on you have <BR>essentially different operating systems. Slackware, for example, doesn't <BR>look at all like Red Hat. Describing Linux is much like describing Mach. <BR>(There isn't much - both are just micro kernels. _Anything_ can be <BR>implemented over them.) <BR> <BR>So as I see it, it comes down to this: vote for the philosophy that <BR>appeals to you. I use FreeBSD because I rely on my machine for many other <BR>uses besides tinkering with operating systems. FreeBSD doesn't change the <BR>world on me every 6 months. Linux is in constant change. New things are <BR>showing up all the time. If you like tinkering with operating systems and <BR>having things that used to work break, Linux may be your answer. If you <BR>don't know Unix -- pick one and get started. You'll learn how to pick the <BR>best choice. No matter which one you pick, it will be infinitely better <BR>that Micros**t anything. <BR> <BR>Enjoy. <BR> <BR>-- Jay <BR> <BR>-- <BR>Kanzaki Hitomi <---> Van Fanel Tenku no Escaflowne <BR>Ayanami Rei <---> Ikari Shinji Shin seiki Evangelion <BR>Tamahome <---> Miaka Fushigi Yuugi <BR>dream lovers....

There's only <BR>one release to FreeBSD (per major version) <BR> <BR>Linux tends to be more cutting-edge and trendy, and tends to work with more <BR>hardware (to some degree), partly because of the "arrangements" made with <BR>vendors. FreeBSD requires that source code be freely obtainable for <BR>(nearly?) all it's parts, which scares some vendors into not cooperating, <BR>or at least not as well. The hardware that _is_ supported tends to be done <BR>pretty robustly. <BR> <BR>Linux is snappier for low-user-count systems, depending on what you're <BR>trying to do. FreeBSD tends to shine under real load (like WWW/FTP <BR>servers), and I don't really know if any major sites base such Internet <BR>services on Linux; quite a few seem to be using FreeBSD, particularly <BR>Walnut Creek CDROM, which carries quite a load on a consistent basis. <BR> <BR>There are far more books on Linux than FreeBSD per se, something I draw no <BR>conclusions on. <BR> <BR>The support on the Linux list(s) is something I haven't any personal <BR>experience with; the support on the FreeBSD lists is exemplary. <BR> <BR>[opinions off] <BR> <BR>Please correct any sins of commission and ommission you find above; I don't <BR>do this often enough to be any good at it. <BR> <BR>your mileage may vary, and best wishes, <BR>larry <BR> <BR>-- <BR>Kanzaki Hitomi <---> Van Fanel Tenku no Escaflowne <BR>Ayanami Rei <---> Ikari Shinji Shin seiki Evangelion <BR>Tamahome <---> Miaka Fushigi Yuugi <BR>dream lovers....
