Lightbulb FreeBSD review

Guys,

Anyone tried FreeBSD ? Iam downloading it now . Is it better than the fedora's and slackware's? Is there support for all hardware , are there programs available?

FreeBSD? Is that a distro or a core? Because I'm not too familiar with FreeBSD...

Pavlyk,

FreeBSD is an open source operating system that runs on various architectures. It is an derivative of *UNIX* system.It doesnt fall into any of the linux distributions. That is what i know about it.

One of my friends said it was awsome, solid hardware support and everything worked... I also herd that the comunity is alot smaller then the Linux one. On the other hand Ive herd that any flavor of unix is outdated and bloated. The choice is yours.
