FreeBSD vs Linux.

I will give one "solid" opinion: If I had to choose one system that would act as my router, DNS, ftp server, e-mail gateway, firewall, web server, proxy server, etc., that system would run a BSD-based operating system. If I had to choose one system that would act as my desktop workstation, run X, all the application I like, etc., that system would run Linux. HOWEVER, I would have no problem running Linux as my work horse server or running the BSD-based system on my desktop.

P.S. OpenBSD 4.5 was just released, available from SoftPro Books in Denver and since they sold out of initial stock already are offering a $5 discount ($50->$45) if you order while they are reordering their stock. Note: they expected new stock today, so if you hurry while their web site has yet to be adjusted, you may still be able to get the $5 discount.

P.P.S. NetBSD 5 was released Apr 29, 2009.
