Hey there.
I'm using M$ Win ME right now. I tried windows 95/98/ME/2K, MacOS, Linux (many distributions), BeOS, and some others OSs ! hehe
Well, looking at all those OSs, I decided to continue with my old M$ OS........
But now I wanna something new ! Something diferent... not just a new stupid linux distribution that takes 5 hours to make it work and about a month to make the damn internet work.
So, i would like to know if FreeBSD is a DIFERENT OS, or it's just another "Linux-like" OS. Exemple : Will i see a stupid prompt asking me to type "root" when i turn on my computer ? Will i have to use wich Graphical interface ? (please, say it's not KDE...)
Guess that's all.
 
PS. Sorry for my bad english... I'm from Brazil...
PS2. I'm NOT saying FreeBSD is a bad OS (I don''t even know it !). Just wanna find more info about this OS before install it.
 
Thanx for your help.
