Why Linux not FreeBSD?

FreeBSD 是一个伟大的操作系统。用过Linux后转到FreeBSD，越来越喜欢FreeBSD的免费，安全，稳定，高效和易管理性。可是，这么好的操作系统为什么给Linux的浪潮所掩盖，人们对其知之甚少？为什么IBM投入巨资支持Linux而不是FreeBSD? 我想原因之一在于Linux的许可证. IBM必须看到操作系统的源代码才能更有利于开发中间件。这样，IBM通过支持Linux来壮大Linux社区来获得大量的用户基础，然后提供服务，销售中间件，然后抗衡其他操作系统。如果是这样，那我们FreeBSD社区能做什么？

我刚好相反，用了若干年FreeBSD后想转Linux了。

Actually I am an advanced Linux user. I rolled out a number of networks for SOHO by using Linux, Windows, and some are FreeBSD. My experience tells me running FreeBSD requires lesser administration efforts compare to Linux or Windows. So I personally prefer FreeBSD to Linux. However, Linux is gaining more and more populations. This results in more and more users and developers are bred in Linux, and gaining more and more vendors to support it.

Many ppl may not realize FreeBSD is losing its populations. But I do see Linux community is broadening and more and more open source software supports Linux natively. For the use on FreeBSD, developers have to port it and fit it in FreeBSD.

If you're an average home user or small-sized SOHO network admin, either fb or linux would suffice. however, if we're talkin' about enterprise application, I'd have to say Linux holds a brighter future.

“免费，安全，稳定，高效。。。” lz然道在linux下没感觉到这些优点吗

至于目前freebsd没linux热是有历史原因地，也许主要是那场官司吧

Linux is not too bad. But one of the problem I have to face is Linux seems buggy. In many networks I support, are maintained in weekly basic, monthly basic or on call basic. As some networks dont allow me to manage remotely, so managing FreeBSD is quite more easier than Linux. That is one of the reasons I said "Free, Secure, Stable, and Robust" to FreeBSD.

I agree with you. Linux would definitely become one of the main stream operating systems and it may leave FreeBSD behind.

你喜欢拿小刀割肉，没必要让别人不用菜刀。仅此而已。

linux比FREEBSD多了许多商业支持，如数据库，中间件等等，现在有些银行，企业等都慢慢的转向linux平台了，但不可能转向*BSD平台，因为缺少商业支持。

开什么玩笑阿,开放源代码的东西有什么商业支持？！
企业用户只有闭源系统的预算，绝无开源服务的费用。
