Dude, that is the worst sound for an admin to hear. Never heard it while
working on any of my bsd boxes.
Heard it twice this weekend. Upgrading a windas 2000 sbs to windas 2003 sbs
box. Then I went Aiee.
I like the fact that freebsd just works with no problems or
I have to ask: Why FreeBSD rather than Linux?
Honest question.
It makes you smarter.
I learnt more about computing and networking setting up freebsd boxes for 1
month than years of being a gui jockey for the other systems, including
linux.
Now the tables have been turned. I am in

There are ways for both to harden your system.

In which cases?
easier to secure ?
It's a fact of patches and a fact of your ability to use 'vi' ;)

Hi, folks,
All these very intelligent, well-reasoned, sometimes philosophical
answers--mine is nothing like that.
A company for which I want to work uses FreeBSD extensively, so I'm
learning something about it at home.

BSD is arguably more popular. Mac OS X uses BSD code for portions of
the kernel and the userland. 10.3 uses FreeBSD 5.0 code, and previous
releases used FreeBSD 3.2 or NetBSD code. SInce Apple is the number
one supplier of *NIX, i'd say that is a good reason. Apple has shipped
more OS X

It's also about quality of the underlying work. On average, Linux base
code runs 10% faster under FreeBSD.
Linux works toward patches for what everyone wants because it competes
for the Windows market share. FreeBSD works toward solutions because it
competes with no one.
