G'day Gordon (and others?),

Just a question out of curiosity -- how does FreeBSD compare with the 
various flavours of Linux?  Will most "Unix" apps run equally well (or 
badly :) on both, or does FreeBSD have an edge here?

As a corollary, which (FreeBSD or Linux) is compatible with the 
greatest range of "free" quality apps in the Unix/Linux world?

Thanks for your time.
