  1. BSD v Linux by Mantus · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Could someone point me to (or post) a lowdown on the potential benefits of BSD has over linux (or vice versa) that doesn't include wild speculation and unfounded cynicism?

    Isn't a BSD distro going to be about the same as a Linux distro? Does the kernel make that big of a difference?

    Note the question marks. I am asking.
