I have run both Linux and FreeBSD systems for a couple of years. My opinion (the only one I'm qualified to offer) is that FreeBSD is =very= much better in unity of the package, and generally from the view of someone who wants to use the system in a production environment. Linux, on the other hand, leads if you're looking for bleeding-edge (like device drivers for the latest-n-greatest sound card) or are concerned with POSIX compatibility. -crl -- Chad R.
