FreeBSD: An Open Source Alternative to Linux
So you got a brand new rack mount server, maybe 1U or 2U of quad power... not sure what to do with it? well you've heard of FLPR right??? The up and coming application stack for web design???
FLPR stands for FreeBSD Lighttpd PostgreSQL Rails . I recommend you check it out! If you're wondering if FreeBSD is for you read this interesting comparison.

The objective of this whitepaper is to explain some of the features and benefits provided by FreeBSD, and where applicable, compare those features to Linux. This paper provides a starting point for those interested in exploring Open Source alternatives to Linux.

So goneaway is talking about freeBSD variant called PC-BSD. I found a bunch of links on freeBSD in the past few days, so I'm going to try this on my Dell Latitude D410 laptop this week.

PC-BSD - Personal Computing, served up BSD Style!

PC-BSD has as its goals to be an easy to install and use desktop OS, which is built on the FreeBSD operating system. To accomplish this, it currently has a graphical installation, which will enable even UNIX novices to easily install and get it running. It will also come with KDE pre-built, so that the desktop can be used immediately. Currently in development is a graphical software installation program, which will make installing pre-built software as easy as other popular operating systems.

Hey there's a LIVE CD version of freeBSD too!
FreeSBIE - Free System Burned In Economy

FreeSBIE is a LiveCD based on the FreeBSD Operating system, or even easier, a FreeBSD-based operating system that works directly from a CD, without touching your hard drive.

Why FreeBSD

The FreeBSD operating system is the unknown giant among free operating systems. Starting out from the 386BSD project, it is an extremely fast UNIX®-like operating system mostly for the Intel® chip and its clones. In many ways, FreeBSD has always been the operating system that GNU/Linux®-based operating systems should have been. It runs on out-of-date Intel machines and 64-bit AMD chips, and it serves terabytes of files a day on some of the largest file servers on earth.
