    BSD - the other alternative operating system. FreeBSD is an excellent flavor and much more user-friendly than openBSD and netBSD.

    FreeBSD is the best intro to the BSD flavor of Unix, IMO. It has a much friendlier installation than NetBSD or OpenBSD. Also, the documentation is top notch. FreeBSD with its ports system is the inspiration for Gentoo's portage system. One other thing I have liked about FreeBSD (and this applies to the other BSDs as well) is that you can be as stable or as bleeding edge as you want in a simple and network-efficient manner simply by tracking the appropriate source tree using cvsup. This beats, for instance, having to download unstable packages from your favorite Linux distro. The downside is that you have to compile and install your own kernel and userland tools, which may be just as time consuming anymore (it was more important to me when I had only a 56k connection to the internet).
