I hope you are wearing a SHACHPA"TZ MAGEN when you walk in here asking
silly questions :-)
seriously... BSD has stopped the machinary, System V rolls on (Reason 1),
and remember that the group that developps freeBSD is a tiny one, while
Linux is much larger, it means people from all over the world, mostly
more professional than the FreeBSD studetnts team, all kinds of hardware
hackers and tweakers etc...
Linux supports more hardware equipment than ANY other PC UNIX.
support for it on the internet is MUCH stronger, it is the second most
popular OS with ISPs in the US...
now if you want me to compare actual operation parameters, I can't really
tell you, because I never ran FreeBSD, so I'll let the others help.
