I stopped reading when the guy talked about licensing.
C'mon, it's a home server!
Just pick something you feel comfortable with and go with it.
After all, the entire world economy isn't depending on stability of your home server setup. Or is it? ;)
- laumars 14y agoIndeed. When choosing which OS to run on a home server, does it really matter that BSD doesn't legally obliged developers to make their modifications public? And to state that FreeBSD's future is in doubt because it's not GPL is just stupid. If I didn't know better, I'd accuse this article of being pro-GPL propaganda. At the end of the day, they're both popular platforms released under "copyleft" licenses. And what's more, neither licences have any baring on the performance nor stability of the OSs. So all his harping on about "must be headless" (though oddly he does contradict himself latter on by stating he doesn't care about the DE/WM) to maximize performance was completely invalided when his final choice was down to something as arbitrary and irrelevant as whether other developers have to contribute back to the base OS.
