What about FreeBSD?

axp
What are your opinions on FreeBSD? Is it good? Does it run fast on low end hardware? Ive heard that its good as a workstation. I have a copy of it on CD(FreeBSD 5. 2. 1 mini-install) but it's the Mini-install version which means it uses the internet to download some apps.

Linux worries

Koba
Hi I'm having some general doubts and worries about Linux. The operating system you use is one of the most important things that affect how you use a computer. I have been on Windows till now and it is really hard giving it up (simply out of being so used to it).
