I have been an OpenBSD user for about 3 years, and I can't give high enough praise. The programs work as the man pages say, and my experience with Linux/GNU has not been the same. The OpenBSD system is logically put together, and simple to debug. The same can not be said for Linux/GNU; not only because each distribution has its own startup style or package system, but also because the tools that make up the system aren't a cohesive package.
I haven't used FreeBSD in about 10 years so I can't comment on it, but back in the late 90's it was pretty nice. NetBSD feels particularly old school to me, and I just liked OpenBSD the best.
There are times when Linux/GNU is necessary, and in that case I run Debian.
- buugs 17y agoFreebsd is pretty nice, mostly for ports and simplicity reasons. I would use freebsd over linux on my computer if the boot disk would work with my usb keyboard and usb mouse... and if matlab were native, I don't know if it is my nforce chipset or some other weird thing but it works fine if the usb peripherals are unplugged.
