Can someone who has used them both tell me what are the advantages of FreeBSD over something like OS X (desktop use)? I was turned off from linux after trying out several distress that kept melting down due to one issue or another. OS X has none of those issues and I get all the benefits of a unix system. How will FreeBSD be different if I try it out? Thanks.
