FreeBSD is BSD, which is the same kernel Mac OSX is based off of. It's pretty nice, but I still prefer the Linux kernel over the BSD kernel. BSD is like a middle ground between Linux and true UNIX.
In order from least UNIX like to most UNIX like, it goes like this: NT - some other kernels that aren't really used anymore, like BeOS and shit - DOS - Linux - BSD - UNIX Anyway, my favorite distro is probably Arch Linux. It's more of a power-user distro, but unlike Gentoo, you don't have to compile everything. |

QUOTE(Buttsex @ Oct 3 2009, 11:06 AM)  FreeBSD is BSD, which is the same kernel Mac OSX is based off of. Mac OS X's kernel is actually based directly on the Mach microkernel, with FreeBSD bits fused into the kernel. It differs considerably from the FreeBSD kernel. |
