They're both good.

If you say so. They aren’t though. Linux has a distinctive SCO Openserver/Unixware feel to it (to me).

Once you cut your teeth on the BSD side everything else if funky/clunky. I’m sure they *could* make the same claim from the other side, but they just don’t know any better.

IMO, of course.

That said, I never made it to 5.x, much less 6. I’ve got the FBSD 2.0 Snap and 2.1.6, 2.1.7, 2.2, 3.0 (up to 5/98), and a couple of 4.0 Snap CDs.

I’ve got a decent extra machine lying around so maybe I’ll try again. Got a machine with 3.0 in the garage I use exclusively for Adventure… well, Adventure and my rapidly deteriorating (dead?) vi skills…

They make good coasters. If you have an internet connection, you can download and burn an install CD for 6.0. I'd recommend it over trying to use any of those versions, unless you're still using a 386 machine.
