Re: FreeBSD is not Windows

Ok I did it over again. Hopefully I got all my edits from last time.

I don't pretend to be the author... it's mostly a find&replace job from the original "Linux is NOT Windows". I just got tired of referring people to the Linux one and saying "just replace Linux with FreeBSD and it mostly fits". I figured, it's licensed under CC so why not make a FreeBSD version.

I did a few minor tweaks to un-Linuxify it, but if you find anything I missed please let me know. Thanks

But now you need "FreeBSD is not Linux". (Should be much shorter.)

My girlfriend is also a MS user. I tried to explain the "open source" idea to her once, she said "I guess that's interesting if your a computer nerd, but, if you used that as a pick-up line, you would probably still be dating your hand".
Not everything in life is a pickup line.

P.S. Open source should be interesting to anyone who cares about freedom.

No need. It already exists:

»www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ra···nux1.php

It's actually much longer though, but it's a good site.
