That's a very big question. There are philosophical differences, licensing differences, design differences, packaging differences and code differences, any one of which could fill a book sized discussion (and may well do in the near future). There are also big similarities that stem from them both being largely POSIX/SUS compliant and having mostly the same software available. If you are used to linux and can read the handbook then you should have no real trouble trying FreeBSD and then you can get to know the differences in the most important way - they way they affect *you*. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith
