Ditto. I've been through dozens of Linux distributions, and Debian is still my favorite. I am *not* talking about Ubuntu, mind you -- that's not really Debian any longer. Much of what I like most about Debian was screwed gently with a chainsaw by the Ubuntu team. Of course, that's only "almost tolerate", as you said. Even Debian annoys the crap out of me, now that I've gotten familiar enough with FreeBSD to realize what I was missing. -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] Quoth Olin Shivers: "I object to doing things that computers can do." pgpuzUSq89cP6.pgp Description: PGP signature

In opposite to Linux, FreeBSD has the concept of a centrally maintained operating system ("the OS") and additional applications ("everything else") which means packages, ports, and 3rd party software. You can see this even through the directory hierarchy: Everything inside the /usr/local subtree is not needed for the OS (and can be removed with leaving you with a completely intact OS). The distributors of Linux choose what belongs to their distribution which does not have such a separation. Basal software, as well as additional stuff, is incorporated via some kind of packages, even the kernel can be handled that way. Of course, as you said, most Linux distribution has its own concept and line of development, separated from those of the other distributions. That creates incompatibilities and differences between the distributions. FreeBSD, on the other hand, manages to keep even binary compatibility between major OS changes. Those who develop and control the OS are programmers who put a lot emphasize on quality - and that's very important to me. -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Re: POLL: Linux preferences from FreeBSD users
My preferences for Linux: I have used FreeBSD fairly regularly since 2.x and various flavors of Linux since around that time as well. As I was writing the first pass at this, I realized that many or most of the problems I have with Linuxes are endemic to "Linux" (whatever that is) and not to particular distributions. My main problems with most of the them are that they are just so inconsistent. Directory structures, documentation, even just where they install packages to by default - the standardization inside FreeBSD and that which is supplied by the ports system just makes for so much more of a sane and predictable experience. Secondarily, apart from *some* of the source ones and the debian-based ones, I always end up with broken dependencies or some weird circular inconsistencies. I'm sure I could fix them if I were a rpm guru, but I am not. FreeBSD just [generally] makes it so much easier and makes me not want to become an "rpm guru". Servers: As you have probably guessed by this point, the only Linux that I feel suits my needs well enough to have used it long term (on my own, that is, not when I've been required to use it) is Debian and some of its progeny (including, in fact, Progeny itself! :). I usually end up with Ubuntu server. And it's OK. Desktops: Now, on desktops I flit around like a jack rabbit on crack. My desktop needs are completely different from my server needs. I'm usually XP (for games at home, work at work), so it's always the second and third OS on my boxes, so I try 'em all. PCLinux is actually been very good to me recently (Surprise! It's rpm based, too! How weird is that!). Kbuntu and some variants are decent enough. None of these last long enough to need more than a few patches, so I don't have the problem of dependency issues.

That's the great thing when you live in the stone age - you don't have to care for any "modern" stuff. :-) FreeBSD, in opposite to most Linusi, enables me to run my old hardware FASTER (!) with each release. Sadly, this gain of speed is eaten up by other things I use right away, such as X and its applications. I can't imagine that Linux would make a better shape here. I sometimes try some Live system CD from a Linux distribution to see it this is still the case. Is this the case? Yes, it is the case.

"Modern" Linux distributions don't appeal very much to me, because they are messy: Missing manpages, partially ununderstandable file system hierarchy layout, untidy source code. Ah yes, and I need a very modern PC to run them. No thanks, not my party. That's why I can't tell about them, because I've not used them. The only thing that I observed when playing around with SuSE live CDs was that the Gnome version of their Linux had a much better internationalisation than the KDE version. Set language to "German", and Gnome gives german text and messages most of the time, nearly everywhere. KDE cannot do that. It even gives english error messages.

Daniel Underwood writes: > QUESTION: Of the various modern Linux distributions, which do you > prefer? and why? I like Debian and ubuntu which is a Debian distribution but that is not to say that other distributions are poorly done. Part of my preference is nothing more than that is what I started out with for a Linux distribution back around 2001 so I am accustomed to it. I like the Debian installation CD because as a computer user who is blind, I use a serial installation console and both the Debian5 CD and ubuntu Server can be easily started in serial mode. I also do not like any distribution that uses a GUI-based installation method unless there is a text-based method which is still available and easy to start. Debian was also one of the first few distributions to be more conservative about security settings. I work for a university and let's say that it is a good place to find out how weak one's settings are. Anybody who finds a hole will not necessarily tell you, but you will unfortunately find out in due time when the complaints start rolling in from all over the world. All the major distributions now are much better about security so this is not as much of a factor as it used to be. As with many things, your mileage will be determined by what you need to do and how well your particular flavor of Linux does it. All Linux versions use the same kernel but some may modify portions of it for special purposes. The distribution known as grml, for instance, has a set of modules in the kernel to support software speech synthesis. I would love to put it on a certain laptop I have but the laptop has other ideas. grml is a flavor of Debian and, on my laptop, the live CD is dead. Ubuntu's live CD also does software speech synthesis for blind computer users, along with an Orca desktop, but it also needs a pretty hefty system just to boot the live CD. That laptop of mine is a 1-GHZ processor and 256 megs of RAM and it still isn't enough. That live CD is also a dead one on that computer. One thing, though, the ubuntu live CD can seem to find the sound card as I hear the bongo drums in the ubuntu bootup, but then the drums fall silent and the screen goes psychedelic as RAM is exhausted and the system looses sanity. That particular psychedelic trip can only be ended by a forced power-down. The only distribution that does work there is something called "Oralux" whose development stopped around 4 years ago. It has software synthesis and it does talk all right, but the sound card can not record sound and it really is too old to be safe or very useful any more.

Of those 3 distributions, *buntu tends to install the least nonsense -- OpenSuse the most.
