To the *BSD people who get used to so bad install scripts for a long time which is no better than 386BSD 0.1 era, no wonder this is a surprise. >>Linux is ONLY for X86, whereas BSD is for ALL. If you want a toy to play with, >>go for Linux, but if you want to go on to greater things, try BSD. This is a great MISadvertisement and you just deserve nothing but flame. :) To the people who think that hacking the system is a greater thing, or to the people who wants to study specicifically BSD OS (for some reason) (in fact, for study, there are better OS's), try BSD. If you want to do useful things for your life without wasting too much time on trivial matters, on some reliable unix environment, try Linux. I'll give you "100% Money back guarantee" for Linux, (of course, only if you pay me :) :) ).
