One obvious point ignoring all technology differences would be the license.
I always like to have more options and even though I haven't used a BSD in maybe 5 years now, I'm still very happy they exist.
I'm most fond of OpenBSD and am VERY happy the project exists. OpenSSH alone makes the project a winner for me.
I also miss the documentation (man files) of the BSDs. They always seemed clearer to me than my current Linux counterparts.
- jacobmartin 5y agoJust to piggyback on this, the source code for the BSD utils is eminently readable and simple, almost always more so than the equivalent GNU options. I understand that there are reasons for this, and I'm obviously very grateful for all sorts of GNU software. But if I want to see how something works, I'm going to go for the BSD sources first if they exist.
