f*ck yeah, FreeBSD.

bsd sux

It's a retarded UNIX.

how much knowledge is needed to use unix...does unix use the same code that linux uses? And does it come with lynx? Im gonna try it out on a virtual machine.

idk. You guys were doing

f*ck yeah, Linux

F Yeah, Windzoe - jcp you're gay for doin it wrong.

so I thought of doing a f*ck yeah, FreeBSD thread.
LOL

Get over it. I have never sworn in my life.

*hides*

About as much as Linux, I suppose you could say.


No, in the sense that Linux is a completely different kernel; yes in the sense that most Unixes and Linux are what's called POSIX-compliant (POSIX is a standard for operating system design) and for the most part, they use compatible libraries, so software that compiles under Linux will usually compile under BSD Unix, and vice-versa. (The same mostly goes for Unixes like Sun's Solaris, too.)


Depends on the specific version of Unix, but if it doesn't it's easy enough to compile/install.


Explain.

It's great for servers, but as a desktop OS it sucks.

I use it for one of my servers, but I would hate using it as a desktop OS.

It's virtually the same as a Linux-based OS at the desktop level. (Linux has slightly better driver support, I s'pose, but only marginally so.)

And community support, and online documentation, and help books.

The list goes on for a while.
