I assume that this goes in here. Not sure where BSD falls on UGN thoigh. But...

I'm thinking of installin FreeBSD on this new box I just built. It is gonna be a server, so any ms os is outta the question.

i've heard a lot about the various BSD os's and I am willing to step into a full unix environment. I will still be keeping a linux box and a windows box up, so I figure this gives me a chance to set up something new.

I say FreeBSD cause I read a really good article on it not too long ago. It is described as an excellent choice, but I'm open to suggestions. What are some of your real experiences with differents versions of BSD? Is one necessarily better than another, or is this another one of those "Taste's great, Less filling" arguments?

I've been to both the FreeBSD and OpenBSD site's, done some looking around. What sites do you guys recommend? Is there a http://www.linuxnewbie.org BSD equillivent? Any and all input you have is appreciated. And like I said, I'm open to all suggestions here.

If i was stuck on BSD i'd go in this order:

OpenBSD
FreeBSD
NetBSD

My linux list is:

SlackWare
Debian
Mandrake

Their basically all I myself would use...

That about covers it, but add to linux list http://www.redhat.com

I think I'm a bit late on this post..lol. Oh well, you might want to try this site out:

FreeBSD Forums

It's a very decent site, with quite a bit of info. Have fun!

Cool, thanks mtlhd, actually beleive it or not the debate is still open, I been using that box to help me study for the A+ and haven't really set it up fully yet. If anyone else has any input then by all means...
