The State of the Demon Address
Kelly McNeill writes "It's an exciting era in the Berkeley Software Distribution world; indeed, things started off with a litigious bang over a decade ago, but now BSD solutions are more varied than ever before and offer the user heretofore unprecedented choice and power. So many are the options today that it's time for a roll call from the various distributions. Paul Webb submitted the following editorial to osOpinion/osViews which takes a look at what each BSD has to offer and also looks at where each is going."
We don't get as religious over here in BSD land as you Linux people do. We don't consider our OS to be the Second Coming. It's just an operating system, nothing more. Therefore it does amuse us at times when we see you Linux folks chasing after new distros like God himself just handed them down to Moses.
The truth of the matter is that FreeBSD is probably going to be less different from your current distro than some other Linux distros are...
Don't blame me, I didn't vote for either of them!
I hope I am not flaming a religious war here, but upon reading the piece with the quote:
"The new FreeBSD 5 branch offers some exciting
technology, generally regarded as comparable
with or superior to what is offered in Linux."
I wonder how SUPERIOR FreeBSD 5 is as compared to Linux 2.6.x ?
Muchas Gracias, Señor Edward Snowden !
