And then the bigger question, really, is: which of these should be the default?

I tried to pick the OS that was closest to Ubuntu, since, in my experience, Ubuntu has become the most common flavor of Unix. Certainly, I think a Linux flavor is a better choice than a FreeBSD flavor.

    I beg your pardon, tye!
    I strongly believe you're mistaken. :)

      Why?

        Couple of reasons, I guess.

        1) a personal matter of choice.
        2) They're called UNIX man pages. So of those 2 mentioned, FreeBSD would be the closest match.
