BSD people: can someone please explain what the meaningful differences between FreeBSD and OpenBSD are?
Tomáš@Reiddragon openbsd is a fully featured operating system.
freebsd is glue-together-your-ideal-system.
@prahou so kinda like Arch or Gentoo?
@Reiddragon No idea, sorry.
Point is, you can get by with an openbsd installation without ever touching a third party package.
tant@Reiddragon @prahou Gentoo was inspired by FreeBSDs port system.
Arch is very similar to FreeBSD with prebuild packages.
One difference is that FreeBSD and OpenBSD have a core set of userland programs which are build buy the same people who build the kernel.
Think like Linus Torvalds and al were feed up with GNU and builds it just for themself, like git.

@Reiddragon @prahou oh GNU plus a ports infrastructure and packaging system.
