Why FreeBSD is Better than penguin...
 

I tried to listen to it as well as other in the past and I just can't get past their monotone voices. But I think both OSes are great. However I am not a fan of the whole security through obscurity thing. Just my opinion though.

Not to mention freebsd it fighting an issue with /dev/random right now which is *** can *** wreak havoc on ssh keys and their generation. With the way attackers are today, I take the road of nothing is safe anymore.

The BSD's have been a great OS for decades.

Not sure which is more secure. Guess the claim of NetBSD may be still true.

It all depends on how you see the OS.

Each operating system and environment brings differing abilities that may or may not correlate betwixt and between each other. For some people GNU/Linux will be enough to do their jobs, for others a flavor of BSD, others still OSX, and others still even more-so... Windows.

It all comes down to perception and what the strengths and weaknesses are for each system, and how they can be counter-balanced within the system.

For myself, I use a smorgasbord of operating systems to fit my needs. Windows, FreeDOS, GNU/Linux(Slackware/LFS), Free/PC-BSD, and Illumos/OmniOS, all split between two 500GB hard drives.

If we are talking security then it is OpenBSD all the way.

That was a goofy damn video. Let's all just migrate to Plan9 and be done with this.

Are you serious ???

Heh. No, of course he is not. He is just trying to defuse a flame war before it gets started. I appreciate that a lot.
It all comes down to personal preference. Use whatever version of BSD that meets your needs. All of the BSDs are amazing operating systems. :)

perhaps YOU can help me...

I love the BSDs and their way of doing things; if only the hardware support was better -- I have two laptops: with FreeBSD (CURRENT) on one I have graphics card support but no wireless, on the other I have wireless but no X server...
:(

I agree. I really want to put PC-BSD on my main laptop but since it has a broadcom wireless I have given up on trying to use it with any of the BSD's

:doh::banghead::doh:

Swap over the wifi cards, (I've done it before), & at least you will have one fully functional FreeBSD laptop. :)

Excellent idea! I may try this...

I'd run FreeBSD on my old laptop but it always goes into a reboot loop every installation.
