The *BSD people will always tell you that BSD is better.
And the Linux people will tell you that Linux is better.
Not true. I use Linux on my x86 only, which I find more "complete" than BSD. However, on my 040 A3000, I use NetBSD 1.6. I used to have linux in there, but BSD feels more stable and fast. So, Linux is ok on a fast machine, while I found BSD better on under-powered CPU's.
True - installation is "weird", and getting X-surf and Picasso to work was tricky, but in the end, it's a very nice OS to play with. It's simpler than Linux, easier to get around in /etc and has a very wide range of apps.
