I was looking around on the freeBSD website. Has anyone had any experience with it, good or bad. I was going to install it in vmware, if thats possiable, or run a live cd. is it even worth looking at? would it benefit me in the security field knowing this OS? sorry about all the questions in the post. Can it be customized the way linux can?

Thanks in advance

Yes it can be customized as linux and if you are very with linux it will be very easy to find your way around in FreeBSD.

Any more details?
Reliability as a client OS / server, why it is worth looking, where else we will see it, etc.?

Thanks. I am interested, too. Grin

How about a BSD Virtual Appliance?

Check out this VMware Search for freebsd.

It always a good learning experience to install an OS on your own, but this is a great way to get up and running quickly to start playing.

Thanks for the link, Don. Smiley
A lot of the links on that site point to this one:

http://www.thoughtpolice.co.uk/vmware

It has a few different Linux distros, as well as FreeBSD, as VMWare images.
