Considering BSD
Hello! I am new to these forums, so please forgive me if I am posting this in the wrong section.
I am considering BSD as a Desktop operating system. I am a Linux user; but I would not consider myself technical at all. Would BSD be a good choice as a Desktop OS? What would some common issues be? What are the pros and cons of BSD over Linux? What are the similarities? Also, which BSD distribution would be best to use? I hear lots of good things about FreeBSD.
Thanks

This section contains information related to system operation and maintenance. It describes commands used to create new file systems (newfs(8)), verify the integrity of the file systems (fsck(8)), control disk usage (edquota(8)), maintain system backups (dump(8)), and recover files when disks die an untimely death (restore(8)). Network related services like inetd(8) and ftpd(8) are also described. A number of pages in this section describe general system management topics. For example, the diskless(8) page describes how to boot a system over a network, and the compat_linux(8) page describes how to run Linux binaries on NetBSD architectures that support it. HISTORY
