Re: How to get started with FreeBSD dev

Hello Ankush.

Good choice is to have FreeBSD instead of Linux,today,since Linux is
becoming more and more like Windows and if this trend will not be
corrected,it will inherit some of the worst defects of Windows. Luckily
FreeBSD is far away from being user friendly like Windows. So we are
safe for now.

My two cents even if they are not so tight with your requirements. I hope
you will appreciate them anyway.

Ciao dalla bella Italia.
