Re: [SL] Best Linux OS for SL?

[Adam V. M. <amv...@gm...>]

I've been using FreeBSD since 2.2.8 (and one prototype laptop that would
only run 2.2.2) and I would also agree that it's a great choice for running
SL.  (Our install is running on 6.1->6.2) I would however add the there is
no reason not to use the package's instead of building from ports.  You'll
save loads of time, and the packages are already optimized plus you'll make
it easier on FreeBSD's bandwidth as there isn't as much to d/l(if something
comes up down the road you can always change it later).  And as already
noted, use either package or the ports tree, not both.

If you're really insistent on having a GUI check out www.pcbsd.org - FBSD +
KDE

I've beening using it to install desktop workstations, but the project has
commercial backing and a server option during the install plus the pbi
collection allows for clickable installers for common apps eg apache, open
office, etc.  Of course it comes with it's own standard quirks, but they're
easy to overcome if you're familiar w/ FBSD.
