> No corporate influence means there's a lot of nice things you don't get. Yes that is the flipside. But I don't mind that. If you choose your hardware carefully it works fine. Note that this is not too different from using Windows or Mac. Your hardware is also chosen carefully to work with those, just not by you but by the vendor. With FreeBSD you're more involved with the nuts & bolts and this is exactly what I want. I don't want my OS to be a black box I don't understand.
