FreeBSD followed closely by NetBSD.

Carpo 01-16-2008 05:49 AM

seeing as i have only used FreeBSD i would have to vote for that :)

FreeBSD all the way!

I used to run a gateway/firewall with freeBSD up until about a year ago when I purchased a hardware appliance to handle that. I now have a freeBSD machine running on vmware as a mail server (6.2). I also had a triple booted laptop that had freeBSD 5 until recently.

I've been using FreeBSD since 2.21-Release, but nowadays I prefer OpenBSD.
I still have 6.2 and 5.5 on two systems.

if posting to this thread, please provide the hardware that it's running on.
This could prove to be useful for someone that wondering if BSD would run on certain hardware

OpenBSD is what I use on a server. I manage my OpenBSD boxes with my Mac running OSX.

You miss DesktopBSD in the poll [ http://desktopbsd.net ]

I clicked in figuring I would vote for OpenBSD, but then Mac OS X was on the list. What could I do?

I use OpenBSD for firewalls, bridges and routers on our network.

I have been a Mac user since 1985, and my home computers and desktop are all Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. I manage all our servers, network equipment, etc. from my Mac. Our main servers are Solaris 9. We also have some massively parallel SGI compute servers that are running Suse.

Some weird stats.

Hope you guys submit your machine info to http://bsdstats.org/
