This is a very general question. It's not easy to answer, if you don't have a specific application in mind. They both have good and bad points. They both have common things and vastly different parts from each other. What is is exactly that you have in mind? Without a more specific question about areas of interest to you, the only valid answer that you can get is ``Check their respective web-sites. Install them both and give them at least a fair amount of time. Learn how they both work, or read as much as you can about it. Then you'll be able to see if there is any difference.'' http://www.NetBSD.org/ - NetBSD home page http://www.FreeBSD.org/ - FreeBSD home page - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
