I have to install a linux machine and don't know which distribution to take.
I tried debian ubuntu and fedora and didn't like them.
I want:
- A basic install (not 900 packages installed by default
- No gui, I like my flashing cursor
- an equivalent of ports. I want to easily compile my ports I don't like
prebuilt package. Want to retrieve them by cvs.
- an equivalent to portupgrade.
If you wish something really close to you FreeBSD experience, you should
try Arch linux:
- Uses rc.conf file (bsd style init)
- Fully configurable, no GUI installed by default
- Package manager allow both source / binary packages
- Rolling distro means you never have to reinstall.
- You will easily apply your knowledge from FreeBSD to it
