first for hurd is better
Why haven't you switched back to the original UNIX yet?
I want to fuck that anime fish.
Cant care less for OpenBSD though.
no wonder *nix is so slow
First for Darwin
Which BSD is the unixiest unix?
I mean has the least amount of GNU in it
>captcha: CALLE
Has there been any movement on getting webcam support in openbsd?
The only reason I needed to switch from it, is that my work likes video chat for meetings.
Other than that, it was great for me.
i would say freebsd because it has clang
OpenBSD as they insist on BSD licensed code.
I'd say netbsd, but all the major BSDs run with no. But if you were around for any of the vendor Unix days, a big mark of "real" Unix is differing from the standard. HPUX, irix, Solaris and AIX feel like their own thing. Father apart from each other than FreeBSD is from Slackware.
>a big mark of "real" Unix is differing from the standard
that's what i'm looking for
every linux distro comes with the same GNU coreutils and libre packages
I want the most "unified" system there is, which is one thing i really like about *BSD
clang is coming to OpenBSD. next release should be transitioned.
Just switch to Linux already
what was holding them this long?
Just quit shitposting already
Just stop responding already
Why? He's going to keep shitposting either way. May as well call him out on it.
>My bank uses FreeBSD
I was surprised when I noticed this just now.
clang doesn't support all of the architectures that gcc does. They're going to split it so that clang where possible, otherwise gcc.
Is their plan to fully replace gcc with clang?
Give me one (1) good reason not to use PCBSD. I'll wait
see
Go try it out and report back on why it didn't work for you.
i guess they didn't feel like throwing even more shit in the tree
that and the fact that the thing is written in C++
I tried FreeBSD and OpenBSD in a VM, FreeBSD seemed better so I'm thinking of installing it on an old computer and using that as a small server, is there anything I should know?
Also what shells do you guys use? I only messed around with the defaults (tcsh and ksh).
ksh
yeah ksh
(t)csh is mostly kept as a legacy thing
Can u game on BSD? Winehq claims to support it.
only freebsd
The BSDs are all distinct operating systems and support somewhat different hardware and software. FreeBSD supports the most stuff and is the most similar to a Linux distro, it does have a port of WINE so you can use it. OpenBSD devs don't care about WINE and don't seem to want it working on their OS, probably due to concerns about malware.
Sane devs that would want wine just wouldn't use OpenBSD so there is nobody to maintain a port anyway.
Why do you come to these threads?
Enjoy your game crashes
Hi guys. I tried to ask in friendly linux thread, but nobody replied, so I'm trying here.
I wanted to get Debian or CentOS to my 1st NAS, but I don't want to be stable because packages are old, so I'm going with FreeNAS.
What should I consider when using FreeNAS? Downsides? Upsides?
