I'm pretty satisfied with Fedora Core 1. But I must find out what makes the Freebsd users go ga-ga about their system's virtues :)
the ports system and consistency.
FreeBSD does not have many default options set. Because of which you'll have to configure a lot of things in a default installation. Also 5.2.1 could not access my ext3 partitions (it supported only ext2). Hope this has been resolved.
The bug which prevented freebsd from working with ext3 was fixed in 5.2.1 AFAIK. It was reported with fbsd5.1. The configuration is not that much. If you have used slackware before, it is same or less than slackware.
The right forum for asking BSD - related questions is the mailing list hosted on http://www.bsd-india.org/. Though there is nothing wrong in asking BSD related questions here, you are likely to get answers faster there. Also there is an IRC channel #bsd-india on freenode.net where Indian BSD users hang out.
What is this registration for? I never registered myself anywhere :-)
check http://counter.li.org/ for the answer.
