Debian vs FreeBSD (was Re: Re: [buug] cockroaches and kernel build)

I agree that FreeBSD is a complete OS and it is my preferred server OS
(client OS being OS X).  However, I don't think that it's *much* faster
and *much* more stable.  That could really be debated.  They are both
fast and are both stable.  I prefer FreeBSD because it's complete, and
it's clean.  One example of something that always bugged me in linux
was doing things like changing the duplex on most NICs.  It usually
involves some sort of hexadecimal flag to be inserted into conf.modules
. .  The driver's just aren't always consistent with basic things like
this.  Personally, for this example, I prefer 'ifconfig <interface>
mediaopt full-duplex'..  That's just an example, and it might  be
different in linux now :)

Cheers,

Hi ,

I think none of Linux version is complete OS and probably never will be
.
FreeBSD is complete and much stable ( and fast) than any linux . I
don't
see anything  specail about Debian, for example,
 I would prefer Gentoo as a best linux version.
