I m having linux distro (Mendrake) on My PC but i dont know what is BSD?I heard it is also linux like OS.Not sure if that is as user friendly as linux OS,BSD is superior than Windows and Linux.I heard that Apple's kernel is based on FreeBSD.Also many Hosting servers rum BSD.I heard that very few developers contribute for BSD's but all there BSD distro are excellent.
Anyway is there any place where i can find place for BSD in detail.i wanna find out if BSD works on VMWARE or not.Running Linux OS on virtual machine is good way cause it saves so much time (Partitioning and booting thru cd etc.)
Anyway tell me what BSD is?

Here's a suggestion if you are interested in seeing what BSD has to offer. Look here... this is open BSD. It is a free program that should be comparable to BSD. I know this isn't much, but I hope this helps.

Linux is a modified kernel with usually an easy interface.

Unix is the real thing, much less user friendly but much more tested for servers and bug free.

Have a look of what types of Unix are out there;

Sun Solaris, Mac OSX, BSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, etc...

Yes, Unix is the master but not for desktop computers, we must admit that windows is still no.1 for personal use and that is only place where is no.1
all games are mostly for windows so...

If you read the article on TUX Magazine 2nd Issue it is no longer the case, the EVANS Research group found that Linux is a better for productivity on desktops and laptops; Windows is closely 2nd.
