FreeBSD weakness.

[Curtis Almond]

I have been playing with Linux and BSD for about 3 years.  I have
landed on the following.

1. FreeBSD is great for non-cluster server install bases.
2. FreeBSD is great for a workstation if you really really like
compiling and hand editing config files.
3. Linux is best for a workstation desktop substitute for Windows "if"
you have app support.

As for Linux distros I have landed on Xandros.  They just announced
the free download edition a few weeks ago.
