But I've found myself in the position where I have to draw on other peoples
experience and perhaps on the writers/beta testers of the new FreeBSD (1.1) :

1. :
IN WHAT WAYS IS THE NEW FREEBSD BETTER THAN LINUX (LATEST SLACKWARE)
2. :
IN WHAT WAYS IS THE LATEST SLACKWARE BETTER THAN FREEBSD 1.1 ?

I'd prefer an answer from people who have administrated and installed both.

This is *NOT* bait for a SYS5 vs. BSD discussion since neither linux nor 
freebsd is strictly either. I want an answer based on freebsd vs. linux


Much obliged,
Rolf.
