FreeBSD là 1 hệ điều hành hoàn chỉnh (không như Linux chỉ là sự chắp vá giữa Kernel và các GNU utility) 

Dùng từ "chắp vá" rất dễ làm người khác nghĩ rằng các distro linux là một thứ gì đó không ổn định và rất lung tung, nhưng thực chất hầu như mọi distro linux đều ổn định, trong đó có cả các distro cho người dùng phổ thông như Ubuntu, Fedora, ... 

có ai leech sang medifire không :-S 

Có vẻ bạn là một "tín đồ" của FreeBSD. Bạn có thể nêu những điểm FreeBSD "hay" hơn Linux không?
