I guess, because there are no sales representatives giving people advice about FreeBSD, people feel more confident when they get some advice from a mailing list about what sought of hardware people have used to successfully do some task or other. Especially, when this involves buying something expensive. But in general, why are you using/ not using operating system 'x' is not a good question because there are so many variables and you can't compare the results in any really conclusive way. The best thing is to just try it, and anyway, *with FreeBSD the software itself will not cost you any money*. Maybe you will be surprised, maybe you won't be. I mean there is no single specific task that general purpose OSs like FreeBSD are designed for. > > - Advantages > - Disadvantages > > When "Disadvantages" is NOT evaluated sufficiently well , the results > mostly will be unpredictable .
