First thing about linux- Wifi SUCKS.
Second thing about linux- If it's ATI, graphics are gonna SUCK
Third thing about linux- Compiling is really cool looking :).
Fourth thing about linux- While command-line based distros such as FreeBSD are meant for servers, home versions like Kubuntu are really easy to use.

Fifth thing about linux- RTFM :roll:.

Suse and Ubuntu both have EXCELLENT (for linux) wireless support.

First choose a desktop enviorment... KDE or GNOME. KDE = windozelike, gnome = maclike

ATI has improved a bit lately in the Linux world
FreeBSD is NOT Linux, FreeBSD is BSD that is based on the ORGINAL Unix via Berkeley
read this
http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/rants/bsd4linux/bsd4linux1.php
and this
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/explaining-bsd/


hope this helps a bit
try out DesktopBSD, http://desktopbsd.net >
TPU! mirror of 1.6 RC1 with LiveDVD future!
http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/477
its FreeBSD in a easy to use package! :)


if you love a pingvin/tux go for linux

if you love the cool red deamon go for bsd
Apple's OS X is based on FreeBSD ^^

a lot of people here, the noobs mostly, would actually hold that against BSD. but the core of os X is actually open source and can be downloaded. so if you are a programmer you can actually mess around and get your own version of os x going! pretty neat. and a lot of people working in the unix world programming and what not work in the os x world. honestly os x doesnt get enough credit.

it isnt i think he was confused.

on another note, w1zzard did upload desktopbsd to the tpu server. i recommend if people are interested in bsd to give it a shot. personally i like to setup my own crap with bsd but desktopbsd eliminates a lot of the hassle for people just learning.

w1zzard?, that was me :roll:

Really? I didn't really find Gnome to be Mac-like. Maybe it's time for me to take the latest version for a spin. It's been a while since I tried it.
