Aaaaarggh... not this again! ;-) For information about all the 1000000's of arguements in favour or against either OS, please check the posts of the last few months... youll find a lot of material which covers your post in explicit detail. For your info, Im using FreeBSD at the moment on a 486DX-66 with 16 MB ram and a 2.2G Conner SCSI HDD with excellent results. Cheers.
