Hi, I tihnk we are slightly off topic, but... Liam Proven wrote:
Initiates do not encounter this kind of problem, as they have the requisite knowledge and cannot easily step into the mindset of someone who lacks it. FreeBSD is*substantially* harder to get working than Linux. The other BSDs are harder than FreeBSD.
I dissent this, I have installed various systems and on a standard configuration, especially if you can jsut partition one single disk, I found all three major BSDs easy to install like Linux.
The installer is nicely text based, but it is easy and leaves you a working system. Especially OpenBSD is extremely easy to maintain. It has an excellent way to update your packages every 6 months, seamless upgrades.
Granted,I upgraded my FreeBSD workstation and X now doesn't work.. but on my laptop freezes due to X drivers now and then too, so I'd call that a tie!
