: I'd like to compliment the FreeBSD team, and all the people
: who contribute to the project. I wrote a post to this effect
: a couple of months ago, but as time has gone by I feel a need
: to repeat myself :-)
: Being involved in a large scale developement project, with
: builds occurring on FreeBSD (primary develpoement platform),
: as well as SunOS, Solaris, HP-UX, OSF/1, AIX, SiliG IRIX, and
: a few others, I've really had a chance to comparse system
: stability, flexibility, and the relative accuracy of man pages.
: Consistently, FreeBSD has come out on top. For pieces of the
: OS not conflicting with each other, for manual pages actually
: telling you what you need to do in lots of weird cases, for
: taking a lot of abuse and handling it (usually with a smile).
if here are so many threads about the useless questions (because there is no
answer) like "Linux vs. FreeBSD" - why not one with happy FreeBSD users -
i'll agree with you - i'm really happy with FreeBSD - it works and installs
very well - and the development is going fast forward - thanks to all the
people working on and contributing to FreeBSD - go on this way
