FreeBSD, Linux Shoot Out.
A pretty good video that shows off some features that are unique to both FreeBSD and Linux, some may find it interesting...

That is pretty dated. FreeBSD is much more difficult than Linux, but is learnable for the average user, if they desire to learn badly enough.
I switch back from various Linux distros I like, to PC-BSD every so often. It is basically a full version of FreeBSD underneath a somewhat easier pre-built gui. Learning the port system is the trick with FreeBSD, it is more of a challenge, but after a while you can get the hang of it. http://www.freshports.org/ http://www.pcbsd.org/ http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO...ook/ports.html http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/ http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO...rts-using.html http://www.freebsd.org/ports/ |

FreeBSD & flash
The biggest single issue most people will have with FreeBSD is flash. There is no native flashplayer for FreeBSD. You can still use it though, you must install the Linux compatibility base, then Linux flash after you have either Firefox or Opera installed.
PC-BSD also has pbi's for those who are not quite ready to tackle the ports system. http://www.pbidir.com/ Quote:
