I notice almost a complete absence (blackout?) of any mention of Free BSD
Unix, in discussions of OS's for the PC. Free BSD, unlike Linux, is free
but controls its software upgrades by a system of submissions to a work
group, etc.
Consequently, many have told me Free BSD is generally more stable than
Linux, and it has gone to some length to be ``Linux'' friendly. That is,
if one can port a program to Linux, there is a 99% chance it will also
run on Free BSD.
However, I have only tried Phat Linux and not personally downloaded Free
BSD. Anyone out there tried Free BSD?
