[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1282436, member: 71075"] What do you mean by this? If you're not looking to learn the command line, stay away from FreeBSD and OpenBSD. You could try [URL="http://www.pcbsd.org/"]PCBSD[/URL] if you really want to try BSD but don't want to get your "hands dirty" so to speak. If you don't care which OS you learn (Linux and BSD are two completely different operating systems), I'd suggest that you start with Linux. Just a heads up - you'll have to hit the command line at some point regardless of whichever you choose (you might be able to avoid it but I doubt it). Also, note that OS X is a Unix operating system with a nice UI and solid security. ;) [/QUOTE]
