FreeBSD - Good as a Server. It still lacks behind Linux and Windows (duh) in that area. FreeBSD still has trouble with Flash, usb (in 2009!) and so forth. Linux - Probably the best "Unix-Like" system for the desktop. Comparable I suppose with Mac OSX except that unlike OS-X Linux is completely open and free and very manipulable. Linux can be made into anything you want - anything! Windows - You like Games? - This is the system to game on. Every OS has their place.. it's pretty simple. It’s simple.

I've got a colourful, elegant desktop set up as I wish and all the applications I need. The Internet connection worked immediately. When I've had troubles or questions I read the documentation that comes with the installation not to mention all the information available on the web. It's unlikely I'll ever look back.

Darwin sucks. Gentoo rules. Speaking of hacked, look at what those dorks at apple did with the mach kernel. They turned it into a function call library for the BSD code. They quit using the Mach message passing. Hence, it probably doesn't work anymore. It's junk. Plain and simple. I guess they didn't use Linux because they couldn't afford to edit all their crappy BSD programs. The other BSD's are mostly crap, NetBSD and FreeBSD. OpenBSD is passable as a network appliance.

Windows XP Pro and Gentoo Linux both rock, but in different ways; Gentoo Linux offers exceptional command line and configuration options, and is very very fast, whereas Windows XP Pro is untouchable in terms of its GUI and the quality of the software that runs on it. My experience with FreeBSD has been disappointing and a complete letdown, particularly after the hype I'd read about it (for example, "If Yahoo! servers use FreeBSD, it must be a good OS"). Besides the crappy colorless default shell, many of the ports are broken. My opinion, stick with using both Gentoo Linux and Windows XP Pro for desktop applications (on a dual-boot, combining them with VMware); If using a server, go with Gentoo Linux, for its exceptional speed. Windows servers are easy to set up but suck in terms of speed. FreeBSD may be a good server OS, but it's such a lousy OS in general, that I wouldn't want to waste any more time with it. I won't even comment on Macs, since they suck even more than FreeBSD. In fact, I think Mac OS is possibly the worst OS ever. It's like Windows for dummies, but worse, because it's built on top of the crappy BSD kernel. In conclusion, FreeBSD is dead. Apple OS is a joke which is only taken seriously by the computer illiterate and mentally challenged. Gentoo Linux and Windows are the future. peace out. comparing Gentoo Linux, Windows XP Pro, and FreeBSD, I’d definitely have to say that FreeBSD sucks royally.
