Chiming in on a random post. FreeBSD is whatever its users and developers make it to be. FreeBSD is positioned as a general purpose OS and different people use it in very different ways. From embedded through servers to desktops. Yes, really. You can share your experience about FreeBSD as a desktop, I can share mine (which is quite different from yours), those would be interesting (and perhaps useful) anecdotes. But, please, let's refrain from labeling FreeBSD and cornering it into some niche. -- Andriy Gapon _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
