RedHat's inability to update older versions of their distro (for all but the most frightening security holes) is one of the reason I left Linux altogether for FreeBSD.
That, and I was experimenting with the linuxfromscratch project, and wanted to compare with the competition. Everything I wanted to accomplish with my "roll-your-own" distro was already done, and better than I could have imagined, in FreeBSD.
Don't know what I'm talking about? You have nothing to lose in merely trying FreeBSD. If you find you like it, stick with it. If it's not what you're looking for, that's fine too. For my money, FreeBSD is where it's at.
