> It doesn't overwhelm you with thousands of packages and dozens of boot services right in a fresh install. On the contrary, it does only what you tell it to do. It puts you in charge and makes you feel like you can understand it top to bottom. Yeah I feel the same way though to a lesser extent about FreeBSD. It's a great OS that doesn't try to do too much and push the latest fads on you like the mainstream Linux distros. But it's also very useable as daily driver and it is that for me. The only thing I don't like is that it gets bloated with lots of linuxisms if you try to use something like gnome or bsd. Dbus and pulseaudio, stuff like that. It makes for a bit of a weird mix and match.
