FreeBSD

Since I successfully managed to wipe my /home (by accident) and I don't care to recover what's on the HDD I'm considering trying out BSD.

So I have a couple questions if you don't mind:

How hard is the transition from Linux (Kubuntu and Arch) to FreeBSD?

Wine? Does it work well? How about the 64bit version?

amd64 instead of ia64 build for Intel DuelCore Duo?

Video drivers?

Thanks in advance!

(P.S. was advised to post here from /g/)

Well the install is a little more extensive, and if you want an intsall that harkens back to the 80's openBSD is for you... Um... it's all the same shit except BSD internals do things a little different. Thanks to standardization driver support isn't like what it used to be, and usually you'll be alright unless you choose exotic parts.

Also, AMD is for... AMD processors. You need something that is for x86.

Wine support... I have no clue; I have never used wine and never plan to. If you want to play WoW and make dumb avatars in photoshop just use windows.

Now please go back to /g/.
