I'd like to here comments both in favour > and against each of the two OSes. You're just going to have to break down and try them both yourself. ;) I started with Linux but I now use only FreeBSD. It's a matter of personal preference - they both get the job done. See what works best with your hardware and what you feel most comfortable with. As many people will tell you, if you know someone using one of the two, go with what they use as it'll give you someone to turn to when you need help. Best of luck to you whatever you choose! -Dave -- ~|~|_ _ | _ _ _| _ |` /~`|_ _ _ _ | | |(/_ |_(_)| (_| (_)~|~ \_,| |(_((_)_\ Ever been to the Realm of Chaos?
