Then tell me again why BSD is > better than Linux. i dont want to argue this.. i just want to encourage you to know the strengths of the BSD family as the orignal poster made a statement why bsd rocks! i just want to say something about operating system... there is no such thing as the greatest or perfect operating system.... simply because operating systems are made thru design decisions based on *trade-offs*... trade-off such as *time versus space* for example just to name a few... if there is a trade-off.. there will be no perfect nor the greatest OS will ever exist on this planet... that is why there is always a pros and cons for every operating system.. with regards to bsd family... freebsd has a long standing reputation as providing both high performance network facilities and high levels of stability especially under high loads... openbsd aims for strong security and code purity... netbsd aims for maximum portability to other hardware... dragonflybsd aims for high performance and scalability from UP to SMP.. oh.. for linux fanatics here... i just want you to know that BSD is Dying... :-> http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7833143728685685343 fooler. P.S. our akamai servers just arrived last week and guess what OS has been used? it's openbsd! + for every problem, there is a solution that is simple, elegant and wrong. _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
