Re: Is it difficult to move from Linux?



Switch .. switch now and you will love it.

i just spent 3 days trying to get unixODBC working on linux... . I got
it to work in about 10 min on Freebsd. Freebsd rules... its a slight bit
different but it rules.

You will never go back once you port something.....

Hi
Using freeBSD is more fun. Installing packages and all that is very easy. The
things you can do in LINUX you can surely do with FreeBSD. Collection of
large number of ports and the flexibility to modify anything the way you want
make it cool. Really after installing FreeBSD I had never swithched back to
LINUX.
Hope you will also enjoy working on it.

Hi,

I have been using Linux for over 10 years, but have for a number of
reasons become very interested in learning to use FreeBSD. Are there any
ex or current Linux users here and could you tell me how hard it is to
make the shift from Linux? Is there anything in particular which has
been written which would be useful to read?

Just my story.. I moved to FreeBSD from Linux five years ago. Shell is
only thing I felt difficult. But now I am using tcsh instead of bash.
Aside from that, everything is OK ;;

Sincerely,
