One major difference is that > FreeBSD is developed and released under a closed development model, vs the op Actually, just to correct a slight misconception here, it's not really correct to say that FreeBSD's development model is "closed" - a better description might be "tightly organized." New developers can (and do) volunteer their services all the time and, after a suitable vetting period, are given free access to incorporate their improvements to FreeBSD - there are over 120 such people at last count. What the FreeBSD project does is take responsiblity for the whole system and its bundled applications, not just the kernel, and ensures that the changes people make are correct through an ongoing peer-review process. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
