Well, I insist: maybe you should look more carefully :) Just to mention the first thing that comes to my mind: several linux distros have achieved a difficult goal: ease of installation-use combined with a stable system. I have no trouble with a "diffucult / unix-like" OS, but a lot of people do. And this a _fact_.They dont have time to spend learning to use a "dificult" OS. And I think that if we want to tell more and more people (friends, family, goverment, companies, etc) to move to an open source OS, we must do an effort. I think that there are a lot of linux distros out there that are really easy to use, and even more "friendly" or "beatiful" than windows. I dont think that FreeBSD has achieved this. I dont think there is need. FreeBSD is more suitable for a server station, but not for the desktop. I use linux both as server and desktop with excelent results. I am using FreeBSD since a few weeks ago, also with excelents resutls. But I see it is not desktop oriented (I repeat, this seems ok for me. FreeBSD is better for a server station, not for a desktop). I dont think that there is an OS that is the best for all the purposes. Use windows if you want to play the latest games. Use *BSD if you want or need a really good unix. Use linux if ...... ( fill in the blanks ;) ) Please let me know if you dont agree, and why.
