It’s a well-engineered general purpose operating system. I used it as a development platform and reference box for portability. I’ll drive my projects w BSD Make[0] and nvi[1] in tmux[2] in dwm/st[3] in X.org as well as I imagine Linux does. I’ll occasionally stream radio with it while I’m working, and collaborate in development with git/hg/fossil. In this sense, I may not even be missing anything versus what another system could provide. I can ssh from here to there, I happen to use this box as a VPN/router, dhcp server and recursive DNS resolver, so it also supports other (Windows, Apple) devices in the house. A solid, no-nonsense breath of fresh air.
