[H-GEN] Unix Flavours

[Rick Phillips]

I have been using Linux seriously for a number of years now and thought
I would like to stretch to new horizons by trying one of the BSDs.

A number of years ago on one of my rare trips to Humbug from the
Sunshine Coast, someone told me that if I tried BSD I would never go
back to Linux.  This may be the case but which one to try?

Without starting a war could someone bring me up to speed on the basic
difference between the BSDs (Open, Free, Net).  I would be interested in
knowing which has more packages available.

Ta in advance,

Rick Phillips
