I'm curious as to what everybody's opinion is on this topic. For those of you familiar with both of these OSes (well, not really both, since there are lots of *BSDs...FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, etc.), which do you think is better, and why? Which do you think has a better chance of being a bigger player in the business market in 10 years? I'm assuming Linux because of the large corporate push behind it...

Anyway, discuss. hehe, not expecting lots of discussion here, but just curious.

Well, Red Hat Linux practically installed itself on my PC.

Yeah, although I have never tried BSD- I hear Linux is a lot easier to use. But I think they're both great because there isn't a corporate giant behind BSD and Linux.
