We all know about the linux VS BSD fight, what do you think about it? We all know that each one has pros and cons. Let's see what everyone prefers and why.

Greets,

I voted Linux, but then I've got almost no experience with BSD. I've been using Linux fairly regularly for about 5 or 6 years now, and I've used BSD maybe two or three times in my life. So, Linux just because I've got more experience with it, although I'd still love to learn more about BSD.

You know, from a practical point of view, Linux and BSD are almost the same (same tools, same everything...) the difference is in licences and the kernel, so don't look at BSD as a foreign OS, after all all unixes are cousins Smile

Both, As i use Gentoo that is both Linux/BSD and is was more secure
and reliable then most distro's.

Id say both aswell, which every is on hand gets the job done usually for me unless Im doing kernel developing. Theres not much difference between the two from a users POV just preference if whether you like GPL or BSD.

I voted "Linux". I've been using Linux fairly regularly for about 3 years ...

linux.. because that is the only one out of the 2 i've tried Wink

BSD rocks! a little of getting to know each other and you guys are partners in crime hehe besides, openbsd is the secure of all bsd's and got one default config error for more than 8years. better code and better security.
programs from other distros from linux could be intertwined if you use wine and compile it for your own use. Smile

Everybody says that BSD is more stable. And BSD can execute both BSD binaries and Linux binaries so I think BSD is the better one Smile

by **mankeke** on Tue Apr 25, 2006 10:29 pm

linux is better to me, it has more support than bsd, and it is a little bit more fast

FreeBSD in more stable then linux ... but if you know how to administrate a server.... you can chose linux... but for me.. BSD rulez Smile
