Posted by michael on from the make-a-wish dept.

  1. The love of BSD by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've always been a firm believer in running BSD systems. I still stand by my beliefs. BSD operating systems have always been fun from the software packging systems to the firewalls. PF has made its way to all the widely free BSD systems. I thank OpenBSD and all the developers for doing such a great job at design. I'll always love reading what others have to say on the mailing lists.

    Let the Birthday party begin!

    Have you ever installed and used it? Try it, you might like it.

    I have, and do. But I favor freebsd for my servers, and linux for personal use. But for my work I use Solaris (with clustering).

    I just find the comment amusing, soon as you add in server applications, you decrease the security.
