Tip of the Trade: PC-BSD
FreeBSD users sometimes gaze quizzically at Linux users and wonder why they do everything the hard way. Although FreeBSD and Linux are close cousins with a considerable number of similarities under the hood, some major differences separate them. FreeBSD is tidy, self-contained, and well-organized. All the pieces form a harmonious whole — a place for everything, everything in its place, and pretty much just one way to do anything.
Linux is more like a barrel of monkeys. FreeBSD is the most popular of the open source Unix operating systems. It's a top-of-the-line genuine Unix, and it powers many of the world's most demanding Web servers.
While PC-BSD targets desktop users with a friendly graphical installer and a set of productivity applications, it's also a great introduction to FreeBSD.
