I've been doing a LOT of reading, and I can't seem to find anything resembling a clear answer. The one truth I've found is this, there are more 'stupid' Linux users than there are FreeBSD users. So I figured I'd ask this to a FreeBSD mailing list, as opposed to a Linux one. 1) What is the BIG difference between FreeBSD and Linux? Is it truly a 'big' difference, or do people just exaggerate the truth? 2) Since FreeBSD offers its 'Linux Compatibility' - will that allow me to use programs that were written on and for a Red Hat version of Linux? FreeBSD is what I know and love, but now I'm starting to use it as a desktop (KDE 3 / XFree86 4.2) and I just want to make sure that I'm not missing out on people's applications (home based) that seem to only be written for Linux. ~ Matthew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
