I'm planning on downloading it whenever I can find the time. I've only used it once before.

Let's know what you think about it, lucky-girl.

I've never tried it myself, but I'm planning to someday.

BSD systems are very secure and stable but I have never liked using them for desktop systems. The GUI isn't up to par with Linux Systems but if you are a console person then you'll never know the difference.

FreeBSD is a great operating system for servers. I had an Intel Celeron server with 512mb of RAM on it and it ran lightning-fast with FreeBSD, even with a high-traffic site.

I am not sure about using FreeBSD as an OS for a PC, as it is more of a server solution. However, there is an OS for desktops called PC-BSD, which is based off of FreeBSD exclusively for PC. I'd love to try this and I have heard only good things...they have a 64-bit version of PC-BSD which I'd love to try.

Unix vs. Linux, I would love to compare the two if I had enough computers, especially with the new 64-bit versions. Bah.
