Good Points: Stable even if (being new) I mixed up some of the conf files. Low on resources (I wonder how low can it go!) I've tried all kinds of WIN and RedHat, ManDrake, SuSe. There are some help books on it Free
Bad Points: A little different from other UNIX I couldn't find any help at the begining with the whole config. (eg. take up a workstation in a LAN or at home via PPP etc.)
General comments: Free BSD is one of the best operating systems I have ever worked with. I believe it is, just as they say, "rock-solid". At start I've done some config that, I later realize, would tear down any other OS.

I have installed the FreeBSD-Stable operating system from FreeBSD on a Pentium 180 with 32 MB of RAM. It has been acting as web and file server in my home.
It is absolutely a great operating system. Anytime I have a question I just post it on FreeBSD newsgroup and I get plenty of replies.

I think Freebsd is an excellent operating system that can be used as a server os and as a desktop os. It just works. It provides proven unix stability and not a lot of system administration is required. Program installation is very easy (without dependency issues).

I really have tried to give the freebsd project a chance but they seem to be hopeless. The project seems to concentrate more on new features than security and stability. This project seems to avarage two security advisories a week and with iso images only updated for the major releases by the time it hits the store self it already needs to be patched. Source on there ftp servers seems to also be well behind the security advisories. Works great for a server extreamly fast but it must currently be ...

What Linux wants to be.
BSD based UNIX enviornment w/ ROCK solid stability and
superior security. Free for everyone. Great update utilities
so you can remain w/ the times. runs just about EVERY linux
application, as well as SCO binaries.
Any of the stable versions totally ROCK. For those on the
cutting EDGE try the -CURRENT version. W/ some advertising
and marketing and a little greed from the developers they
could put redhat out of business. used by Best Internet,
Altavista, ftp.cdrom. ...
