I tried out many different BSD 'flavours' recently and seemingly none of them had good networking config. It was the thing that stuck out to me. Everything else seemed to work perfectly but outside of using DHCP you were in a world of pain. I was trying to setup a BSD install and put Jenkins on it for testing. But I had so much trouble with networking I ended up having to virtualize it and do it that way. Surprisingly, VMWare wasn't up to the task either. It was Virtualbox that saved me in the end. Netlink = actual good networking management. Super useful tbh.
- lmz 4y agoThis makes no sense. How would netlink improve the UI? (my guess is if you're not doing anything exotic, the UI is what you're complaining about)
- nix23 4y agoCan you decribe your pain with networking a bit more? Because that's a thing i never had problems with....on BSD's...hell not even on linux.
- CoolCold 4y agoNot big fan of Freebsd myself, but what you say makes not much sense even for me. Some examples would be nice.
