You've asked in FreeBSD Support, so you'll get an appropriately biased reply. :) I personally like FreeBSD for: 1) Rock-solid stability. 2) Unified distribution structure. (There is *one* FreeBSD, about 10 Linuxes [Slackware, redhat, etc....]) 3) The Ports & Packages collections. I hate porting software, and these systems make it too easy to just pick something, build, and install it with a minumum of trouble. Hope this helps. Scan the mail archives at http://www.freebsd.org for other biased replies. :) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major
