FreeBSD forum anyone?

[deliberate187]

I would enjoy seeing a FreeBSD forum on here. Here are a few good reasons why I think so.

* FreeBSD is an underdog, the little known system that could
* In my opinion, is integrated better than ANY Linux flavor out there. (All 3rd-party apps and data are installed to /usr/local, Linux has a tendency to scatter a lot)
* Most of the servers on Netcraft with uptimes larger than 2 years are *BSD based.
* It's easy to learn on, and comes with a plethora of packages for desktop, IM, etc.
* Very secure system.
* For novice users, available as PC-BSD and DesktopBSD.
* Less restrictive license than GPL.
* It's free.

I will admit, I am biased toward BSD. It does things differently than Linux, and in my opinion is a lot easier to use and administrate. It also supports native service jails, which Linux just does not do. This was a big selling point for my Apache httpd server. That's why I think we should also have a FreeBSD forum here in addition to a Linux one.

first off
post it in the ubuntu itll get answered one way or another even if it isnt ubuntu

and next



* FreeBSD is an underdog, the little known system that could Wink

free bsd isnt an underdog and has many commercail implications especially in rpinting facotries

* In my opinion, is integrated better than ANY Linux flavor out there. (All 3rd-party apps and data are installed to /usr/local, Linux has a tendency to scatter a lot)

free bsd isnt a linux flavor its a bsd flavor
and the reason it stays so strict is because it like linux is a unix hack but derived from unix instead of minix and has more original unix code in it and very few aspects of it have been completely recoded

* Most of the servers on Netcraft with uptimes larger than 2 years are *BSD based.
u dont need the second* and this could also very easily be true with a linux server and somehow i doubt all their servers have the same performance specs

* It's easy to learn on, and comes with a plethora of packages for desktop, IM, etc.
so does fedora

* Very secure system.
since all the security enhancements are open source they can be implementd on other systems as far as shell security and stability since it uses original code it may very well be better but chances are it has bugs where it was peiced together

* For novice users, available as PC-BSD and DesktopBSD.
uhm wouldnt those both be the same?

* Less restrictive license than GPL.
meaning the rights to things u code for it can be stolen easier?

* It's free.
so is linux?

i do beleive jails can be implemented in vanilla distros like gentoo
and biast you may be we all are a little vladd is obvy biast toward ubuntu thus we dont have a general linux forum but as for bsd having its own forum not many people use bsd as an os so both forums would be rather dead it would be best to have one labeled general linux , bsd
as many of the problems can occur on both

wow

why haven't i seen you post before

you are way too geek for me to not have noticed

[bacon665]
