Migrate Everything from Linux to BSD
- reacharavindh 7y agoI use FreeBSD wherever possible for ZFS. But, the common infrastructure world still relies on Linux. You’re not going to find all software compiled for BSDs or even instructions to compile yourself in most cases. It works great in some cases until you hit a wall because the developer(s) of the application you want to use targeted linux as it’s the most common user base.

- simonblack 7y agoZFS seems to be the big topic today. But like all things developed by corporate entities, you must sort out the legalities involved. Nobody cares if you, personally, use ZFS. But it's a completely different hill of beans for one corporate entity to say that everybody can use ZFS without getting the legal permission of the actual corporate owner of ZFS. That was the point that Linus was making. Who on Earth would want to make hundreds of corporate lawyers into millionaires?
