Radio_AzureusWhy I love freeBSD
Additional data
I love FreeBSD because it doesn't rename my network interfaces after a reboot or an upgrade.
I shall dwell on what Stefano may mean as I have experienced this nightmare on the Linux path countless times
- using the if tools ifconfig ifup ifdown route and others on a LAN local network I repeat on a LOCAL network
- these tools were depreciated due to many issues with them, decades later (IIRC)
- no linux distro ever told me as a user that I needed to use replacements like
ip - I install a new version of a random distro (was on an ESR) and could not address the NIC's no iftools
- names of the NIC's were also replaced with cumbersome cryptic names, again, no fucks given no warning, I should have read the remarks in the GNU tool sources?
- WTF?!?
In that period I needed to enter the world of freeBSD
it was a chilibox experience with three main factors. Great docs, consistent tools logic and control governed by a central body of all, no guerilla tool changes which could disrupt server up keep flow. Just rest, ease and stability
Mind you I know BSD from before the chilibox, in fact I've played with BSD way before even Linux was in the balls of though of Torvalds
TLDR;
- choose BSD for your servers if you need consistent OS behaviour for decades
- choose Linux for bleeding edge changes and chances of breaking server (VMs) at regular updates
- choose win64 for love of being tortured
- choose mac to give away your aurum to the mac overlords
- choose the abacus for absolute stability
