Why I Love freeBSD

freeBSD

Processing

I've only skimmed this nice post.
Thorough reading will follow later

Some highlights which resonate with me *as flageolets on a string instrument* are captured here in screenshots I've made on an Android

Many tools still work exactly as they did (decades ago)
The feeBSD handbook taught me an enormous ammount, more than many of my University courses, including things that had nothing to do with freeBSD specifically
This is vital
The handbook taught me the right approach
understand first, act second

This is a principle I use since I've been a peuter (NL).

Analyze what occured
understand why it occured
find out under what circumstances it can occur
close or limit those conditions
fix the problem by repairing, cooling, modifying the break
analyse the proposed fix before implementing
Only replace when all other methods fail or repair is more expensive than replacement
