Differences between FreeBSD and Fedora installation 1. FreeBSD uses the concept of Slice and doesn't support the operation to the logical partition. 2. FreeBSD uses one of the slice of a disk as SWAP and Fedora uses individual partition as SWAP. 3. FreeBSD supports UFS file system and Fedora supports EXT2, EXT3, and so on. 4. FreeBSD uses text-based sysinstall utility to install OS and Fedora uses graphic mode. 5. FreeBSD uses tcsh as default shell and Fedora uses bash. 6. GUI may not be installed on FreeBSD. Pros of FreeBSD installation process 1. The default installation is basic operating system and occupies small size of disk. Cons of FreeBSD installation process 1. Users who want to install need to configure more than Fedora.
