I can't even remember now why I first started using it, though I suspect it
was mainly due to the security auditing feature of the OS. My last incarnation
of my BBS was actually on OBSD, but it's been about 4 years since that was
active now. Which reminds me, I really need to change my login screen to
reflect the new parameters that my BBS is running on, it's all lies right now.
:'D
I've used FreeBSD before, too, but it's been much longer since I've used
that reguarly. I've had it installed a few times for very brief periods of
time on a couple of systems, but I haven't used it regularly since probably
sometime before 2010. Last time I installed it on something it certainly
looked like it'd come a long way, though. I guess I'm not really sure what the
attraction of FreeBSD over Linux for desktop use is at this point; seems like
Linux has a greater software collection... Though I do like being able to look
down my nose at a Linux user when I tell them that I'm using BSD. *laugh*
OpenBSD is definitely different from FreeBSD, though. It's kind of funny
how even the admin tools change at times (ie sudo vs doas). Keeps ya
on your toes!
