Which UNIX / Linux to build a new machine with?
Is freeBSD a good choice for new Unix machine? I want to get back into Unix / Linux. System would be used for light scripting and file server needs. Something with nice software or hardware raid support would be good. If it could support virtual machines, kind of like VMWare's ESX that would be great too.
Other choices are Ubuntu, SUSE, RH, etc.
