Linux vs. BSD, What's the Difference?

| In this article, I'll compare Ubuntu 7.04 (Fiesty Fawn) with the (as of this 
| writing) upcoming release of PC-BSD 1.4.

Apple iPhone vs the FIC Neo1973 OpenMoko Linux Smartphone

,----[ Quote ]
| Anyone who wants to install Linux on the iPhone could apparently do so, just 
| as hackers did for the iPod. Apart from political or philosophical reasons, 
| there is little reason to actually do so, as the BSD-based OS X running on 
| the iPhone already works, whereas OpenMoko doesn't.

These are biased, of course, but nonetheless interesting.

Kubuntu v.s. PC-BSD

,----[ Quote ]
| I played a bit with Kubuntu this morning in preparation for the 
| article "PC-BSD for Ubuntu Users". It made sense to me to compare the two 
| operating systems if they were both running the same window manager (KDE) so 
| I wouldn't be distracted by Gnome v.s. KDE issues. That was my first 
| mistake....

Comparing GNU/Linux and FreeBSD

,----[ Quote ]
| FreeBSD and GNU/Linux are two great options: choosing one or the
| other depends on many factors. Usually FreeBSD is used as a web
| server: companies like Yahoo! or Sony Japan trust FreeBSD to run
| their internet portals; on the desktop GNU/Linux wins this battle,
| but GNU/Linux is used on many web servers as well. Users will find 
| if they are familiar with traditional UNIX systems they can use 
| either without many problems. FreeBSD and Linux: a gift of 
| quality, robustness, security and stability from the free software
| community to the world of operating systems.
