BSD vs Linux

(1/2) > >>

Siplus:
i'm going to just start by asking: what is the main differnce between the two?

i know bsd is older, it uses a different kernal, and i heard somewhere that networking in bsd is better then in linux. but bsd and linux are both unix based, so what can be all that different?

choasforages:
depends on style, like i am living without hardware exelerated gl becuase im using a -CURRENT *bsd, but it is far more solid then linux at some things. but linux has the hardware support for alot of odd things that *bsd doesn't. but im going back to linux and -STABLE once i get my new computer.

emh:
The way I understand it, BSD is more targeted toward those wanting to run servers, while Linux is more targeted at general computer use.
