Hi all.
I'm a new Linux user, started on ubuntu a few weeks ago, progressed towards some other distros recently. A (Microsoft!) programmer friend told me that if I'm going to go the Linux route, I should look into FreeBSD.
So- sell me on it.
What's so great about it?
And, if you're capable of giving a balanced critique as well - what are the drawbacks / weaknesses? I have a high tolerance for learning curve, etc etc, but there is really a reasonable limit to what is practical for a normal human being. Does FreeBSD stray over that line? Am I going to have trouble with compatibility issues, finding drivers, etc?
Thanks! Look forward to your responses.
