The question could be answered by how many ex-linux enthusiasts are now FBSD enthusiasts. Linux was good to learn on for me but FreeBSD is much nicer in almost every way. FreeBSD runs linux binaries so that can't be used as an excuse for not using FBSD. I found FBSD to be easier to install than some linux(s) and learned how to compile the kernel and customize things much faster than I did in linux. What part of the install are you having trouble with. I would love to help you out! <I find the support for FBSD by the community around it to be far superior to that of linux. More FBSD people seem to actually know what they are talking about.> Dave On 02 May 2001 09:13:02 -0700, KP wrote: > What is better for a person new to the *nix world, > Linux or FreeBSD? > > I purchased the CD Box set (10 CDs) from BSDi and have > been trying to install for 2 weeks now, with no > success (See previous posting: "Kernel/Config Install > problems DFE-530TX+, fd0, config> di fe0, and more"). > > > I spoke with a friend (AIX and Sol SysAdmin) about my > project and he suggested I drop FreeBSD and go with > RedHat Linux.
