Yes, I think there is no real rational reason, and I cannot say, I have=20 made this decision because of advantages or disadvantages from the one=20 or other OS. The main thing could be, that I also want to play on my computer some=20 computer games. I couln't get the nvidia-driver working on FreeBSD,=20 without any crashes. There are more games available on linux I found=20 out, and porting new games to FreeBSD was a thing I found really hard,=20 because this sources are often not very portable. Now I don't have to=20 port things. On FreeBSD I couln't get rid of the linux emulation, (because only the=20 linuxflashplayer for galeon worked, and it needed a wrapper there). You=20 may say: Who cares about that! But it's just that I don't liked it. Then I started to test gentoo linux, a few weeks ago. The first thing=20 I saw was: The computer starts faster. My computer is a workstation,=20 so this is good. And the computer runs faster. Ok, this is wrong. =20 But the user can have the feeling that the computer runs faster=20 (especial while using the gnome frontend, I didn't test kde so far),=20 and people told me, this is because the linux scheduler is cheating. =20 It runs the current visible things first, so it looks like it is=20 faster, but it isn't really. What I miss is, that gentoo doesn't support the gnome 2.3 deveoper=20 branch (see the marcuscom portstree), so I'm working in 2.2 here. But=20 I found out, that this is not really a big problem for me right now. I could talk on and on, why I decided for gentoo, but I think most of=20 this things weren't in my mind when I was switching. What I think=20 about my self I could explain in german with the word 'Tapetenwechsel'.=20 (For people who don't speak german, my dictionary translates this as=20 'change of scene'). What do you think, when you hear my telling you this? > Anyway ... good luck with you new OS-way of living ;-) Thanks, I'm not as good as I was in using FreeBSD, but it makes fun to=20 practise and learn.
