This post has been up 13 hours and there are no comments. I guess there really aren't to many of us old farts around who actually used, and still use BSD.

Thank you Bill...


I'm stick to FreeBSD since 2.2.1-RELEASE, I like it a lot and prefer to use it in all my projects. I tried to migrate to Linux several times during my 15 years career, but with no avail - whenever I touch any Linux box it makes me puke because of issues with bash, incompatible libraries, innumerous distributions and package management and wrong filesystem tree, etc. The more I use FreeBSD the more I like it. Recently we moved our production servers to FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE with ULE scheduler and gained a lot in performance (as we run busy pthreaded VoIP switches which do audio transodings) on Intel quad core CPUs. FreeBSD rocks!
