Linux Users Try FreeBSD 5, Windows

Posted by michael on from the painful-experiences dept.

uninet writes "Most people know what GNU/Linux is, but fewer know about BSD and fewer still have actually used one of the major BSD variants (other than the highly customized Mac OS X). Ed Hurst, a writer and a long time GNU/Linux user, decided to give FreeBSD a try. Will Ed join the ranks of happy FreeBSD users? Find out at OfB.biz." And our own Roblimo, Windows-free for five years, has spent a week learning Windows XP.

  1. Yoda, Jedi Master, Dead At 55 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Jedi/Ugly green dude Yoda was found greased up and dead up my ass this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to the Force. Truly an American icon.

  2. Rob Limo is just another stupid zealot... by Assmasher · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    He spends his time bashing an OS by crapping on the browser and the e-mail support, LOL. He blissfully ignores the fact that you can (like I do) use Mozilla if you wish ON XP. It is like a Windows user bitching that Linux is crap because he doesn't like using Pine for e-mail. Come on, that guy would be almost as big an idiot as RobLimo.
