FreeBSD Reviews
Today, I read two articles along with their comments about FreeBSD: Review: FreeBSD 5.4 and Linus compares Linux and BSDs, I think they can be summarized in one sentence: FreeBSD is not for general purpose and doesn't work well as a workstation. Although I love FreeBSD, I think their opinions are quite true. I never installed FreeBSD, never read anything about installation, X-windows, printing, ie. almost everything I don't need to manage a remote dedicated server, but according to my limited experience, I can expect the difficulties to use FreeBSD on a desktop computer. But I couldn't care less about desktop usage, I'm very happy with FreeBSD on the server side, and I don't hope FreeBSD team tailor FreeBSD for everything like Linux in the future.
To me, FreeBSD's efficiency, stability, usability and secruity as a server is great. If there are more documents and tutorials for those popular software, it's even better.
