Linux Mandriva 2010 on my notebook (Dell 1318) and Mandriva 2010.1 on my netbook (Compaq mini CQ10-120LA) ... I need ACPI to work as expected and no BSD can give me that, and the same goes for wireless cards support .. forget bout bluetotth ... besides, dumping a Linux .iso image in a USB stick to give it a go on my notebook/netbook to try it out before installing was incredibly more easy than doing so with BSD images as most major Linux distributions provide Win/Linux GUI tools to do so (The Mandriva tool will ask you to select an .iso image and a USB ... point, click, you are done ... Fedoras tool will even allow you to create a a separate partition on the same USB device to store your files should you choose not to install the OS). Linux (as much as I don´t like it) is years ahead of BSD´s in that regards ... And, oh yeah .. native UTF-8 tty´s and KVM make a huge difference. FreeBSD has been relegated to my desktop (which I have come to use only ocassionally, and servers).
