Hi,
I remember reading that Linux variant can start in GUI while FreeBSD cannot.
In Linux, u can configure such that after booting up, it'll present with a GUI for userID n passwd. After entering correctly, u'll go into a GUI environment.
In FreeBSD, after booting up u can only see the command line n enter your passwd from there. I remem after i configure the xwindows, I type startx to start the GUI program.
Well, FreeBSD is known to be less user-friendly than Linux. U can visit specialised FreeBSD forums n newsgroup to learn more. 1 of the must go website:
