| I have to admit that Mint is one of the most beginner friendly distribution
| out there. It is the only distribution that I installed on my dad's machine
| and he is really happy with it.

Stepping out of Linux and into BSD: A first look at PC-BSD

,----[ Quote ]
| Is BSD ready for prime-time? PC-BSD 1.4, a desktop-centered, FreeBSD based
| operating system has just been released and is looking to attract attention
| from the growing throngs of Linux users. But how well does it stack up to
| popular and easy to use Linux distributions like Ubuntu? Why should anyone
| care about BSD...

Linux Mint Review

,----[ Quote ]
| This review is about the all new Linux Mint 3.1, codenamed "Celena". Mint is
| based on Ubuntu (in this version Ubuntu 7.04) and is compatible with its
| repositories, meaning that you get access to the huge Ubuntu repository which
| contains over 10.000 programs. But lets see everything in detail. Â*

First look at PC-BSD 1.4

,----[ Quote ]
| So, all in all pros minus cons, PC-BSD is an amazing project. It allows many
| to experience the benefits of BSD clones who otherwise might not be able to.
| On the desktop it would be a wonderful alternative for the experienced and
| inexperienced alike. Additionally, it could possibly work out on a laptop for
| users who are willing to get some virtual dirt under their nails. PC-BSD is
| probably the best opportunity to experience "personal computing - BSD style." Â* Â*

SELinux vs. OpenBSD's Default Security

,----[ Quote ]
| Darrin Chandler suggested, "security should not be grafted on, it should be
| integrated into the main development process. I'm sure the patch maintainers
| are doing their best, but this doesn't change the fundamental flaw in the
| process. It's not a flaw of their making, it's inherent in the situation. But
| it's still a flaw." Â* Â*

Kubuntu v.s. PC-BSD

,----[ Quote ]
| I played a bit with Kubuntu this morning in preparation for the
| article "PC-BSD for Ubuntu Users". It made sense to me to compare the two
| operating systems if they were both running the same window manager (KDE) so
| I wouldn't be distracted by Gnome v.s. KDE issues. That was my first
| mistake.... Â* Â*

Comparing GNU/Linux and FreeBSD

,----[ Quote ]
| FreeBSD and GNU/Linux are two great options: choosing one or the
| other depends on many factors. Usually FreeBSD is used as a web
| server: companies like Yahoo! or Sony Japan trust FreeBSD to run
| their internet portals; on the desktop GNU/Linux wins this battle,
| but GNU/Linux is used on many web servers as well. Users will find
| if they are familiar with traditional UNIX systems they can use
| either without many problems. FreeBSD and Linux: a gift of
| quality, robustness, security and stability from the free software
| community to the world of operating systems.
