  1. FreeBSD "more advanced" by Safrax · · Score: 1, Redundant
    Overall 5.2-RELEASE is disappointing from a desktop perspective, but it's still more advanced than any community GNU/Linux distribution that you'll find, especially in the area of AMD64 support.


    Umm, no. SuSE has the best AMD64 support and I dare say Gentoo has second or third best. And in my own experience with FreeBSD 5.2, I find that linux is a much more viable desktop/server OS than freebsd.
