Why FreeBSD is less popular than Linux
by rng from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5ER8W)
I recently installed FreeBSD in VirtualBox using amd64 iso file. After installing base package, I used pkg utility to install xorg, xfce4, libreoffice, jdk, firefox etc. Recent versions of software got installed. Even smaller packages like axel, evince, viewnior etc are available and got easily installed.
It works really smoothly and better than many Linux distributions (and I have tried many!). I am wondering why FreeBSD is less popular than Linux. Thanks for your insight.
(One possible reason could be that dual or multiple booting seems more difficult with FreeBSD than with Linux).
