  25. Re:What's wrong with *BSD on NetBSD And BSDCon 2000 · · Score: 2

    Balkanization my butt!

    Red Hat, SuSE, Caldera, Turbo, Debian, Slackware - and these are the ones I can remember off the top of my head!

    Just as every Linux distro brings its own unique features to the table, the various currents of the great BSD river do as well. It bears repeating:

    (Appearing in alphabetical order)
    BSDi - commercial "pay" version
    FreeBSD - optimized for Intel
    NetBSD - runs damn near everywhere
    OpenBSD - "secure by default"

    I'm sure there have been many submissions about BSDCon - only the NetBSD one made it through, probably because it provided detail and was well written.
