Member since:The problem I see in FreeBSD (and other nixes) is it is difficult for new comers. There are NOT a lot of documents such as guides, tutorials and 'in 10 minutes'. A search on google produces few useful results, most of them refer back to the official document project.
One of the biggest advantages of BSD from Linux is the documentation. Just read the handbook and the corresponding man pages and your set. Linux OTOH has TLDP which has mostly generic docs and tons of how-to's which leaves you in the middle co'z some solutions DON'T actually work.

The problem I see in FreeBSD (and other nixes) is it is difficult for new comers. There are NOT a lot of documents such as guides, tutorials and 'in 10 minutes'. A search on google produces few useful results, most of them refer back to the official document project. But it is a bit too techie and out of date. It pales comparing the array of books for MS windows and offices.
