Yet you realise that you're presenting a divisive front for UNIX-based OSes by making that comparison.  No offense intended, but you don't see this happening on the Microsoft side of things - mostly because they don't allow it.  Keep in mind that Linux and BSD are veritable cousins, and their contributions to the FOSS community are equivalently great.  Present a united UNIX solution with numerous flavours, rather than a single kernel solution with no alternatives.  :cool:

Aloone_Jonez:
I agree BSD, Linux and Solaris are all UNIX but I'm not thinking too clearly and I've just been brainwashed a bit after socialising with a BSD and Solaris fanboy! I told him I wanted him to teach me about Linux. He said it sucks and said BSD Solaris etc. is better. But I agree Linux is better than been locked in to a propitiatory system by Microsoft - well just as long as it isn't Linspire it's cool with me.

Orethrius:
What bothers me is that those who attempt to trump one UNIX-variant with another - however good it may be - are a new kind of ignoramus.  You simply cannot judge one man's experience with a particular derivative as a global constant, it doesn't work that way.  To be fair, some people have even had decent experiences with Windows.  I know I have, but I just find it easier to do the stuff I need to do - file management and whatnot - in a UNIX environ.  Hell, once I get WineX set up, I might even start working on hardcore gaming support.  ;)

Aloone_Jonez:
I aree, if I learn one form of UNIX I could easily transfer the skills to another form of UNIX. It's like word processing or spreadsheeting I learned to use MS office and I've transferd my skills to OpenOffice.

You need two things, An Open Mind, and Google.

Try researching for yourself - find what Operating System is best for your needs.
Don't just listen to your friend and copy what he beleives. Get your own opinion?!?.
Naive / too influential tbfh.

I don't agree with dissing Linux (whats with the "Linsux anyway") just because you prefer to use FreeBSD.
I prefer to use Linux, yet I have never put-down BSD / Solaris.
There is no need.

I support FOSS, and I oppose Microsoft.
Therefore FreeBSD and Linux are both good in my eyes.
