So...anyone using FreeBSD here?

Mostly I've been a Linux snob since about 1992 when I started messing with the SLS distro...but recently, especially after systemd, I have been experimenting with FreeBSD.  And liking it, a lot.

My main server (for my home) runs FreeBSD now.  I find that the OS updates are far less intrusive than the usual Debian "apt" based system.  I love the ports tree, although the "pkg" system is very friendly to an old Linux fanatic.  Mainly I'm running a Plex and Emby server and until recently, a logitech media server (which broke, but that's not unusual).

I still run Linux on my laptop of course, but I still quite like FreeBSD.  I find it amusing that my FreeBSD server, running the dreaded "RC" scripts boots faster than my Linux server running systemd.

The AHK Gang! Live on Riot.im.   When we feel like it.
