I am so glad I discovered FreeBSD. I've been running it since '95 and I think 2.2.5. Still detest the awful, bland 3D generated "new" logo and flat variant. Please bring back the original. It saved me from wasting so much money. I was in the process of giving up on the Amiga and had just bought a top spec dual boot NT/95 machine (2x Pentium II, Adaptec SCSI, SCSI cd writer, Seagate Cheetahs, something very expensive for graphics and sound). It was a pile of shite that was objectively slower and worse than the 040 Amiga at every task I tried. Burn a CD sir? Sure, just don't do anything else at the same time, you must disable screensavers or receive a coaster. Move the mouse? Gosh that's brave sir. FreeBSD gave something that wasn't brain dead, and actually worked, from that horribly expensive failure. Made a useful home file and printer server. Gave a similar desktop to the Suns at work. I took out a sub with CDROM.com that I kept running until they died. I've had a BSD box as some variation of home NAS/media server ever since. The Amiga would surprisingly live 5 more years as daily driver (with one of the 10k Cheetahs). Windows 2000 was actually reliable enough to use. When retired that first BSD box had an uptime in years. Oh those simple times before constant security updates! I'd love to have used FreeBSD as the daily driver but software and laptop support was lacking in comparison to Windows (I did try a time or two), and OSX that I leapt to as daily machine when it was released. Thankfully today FreeBSD hardware support is much better. So from chance discovery to the most reliable platform I'm ever likely to get my hands on. Especially with jails, ZFS etc. I just wish it was a little better known compared to Linux.
