FreeBSD isn't a Linux. I'd read up on the differences first. A lot of people recommend starting off with a Linux like Ubuntu because the learning curve is potentially a bit easier to work your way around.
Personally, I think that's rubbish because *BSD documentation is much, much better and you'll end up understanding a lot more about how the system works in the long run. Linux is getting to the point where most distributions sugar coat administrative tasks and shut you out of them. I'd look at OpenBSD if you want a steep, but well documented learning curve that is most similar to classic UNIX, FreeBSD if you want to learn a great, versatile server, and Linux if you enjoy the flavor of the week. -James On 11/27/11 09:13, LinuxIsOne wrote: > Hi, > > Well, I am basically a Windows convert, but very frankly saying that: I am > new to the world of Linux.
