I started out with an old laptop running Linux.  And I decided one day to just put FreeBSD on it.  It was great...it was like the OLD Linux days in the early 90s.

I feel like Linux has gone the wrong way. My main (System 67) laptop running Linux is my main go-to appliance but...when it comes to the server side, I use FreeBSD.

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