Bsd... Ugh!.

[youbuntu]

Before I continue, this is NOT meant to be a fight, a flame war or anything else, I am simply expressing that I prefer GNU/Linux *philosophy* to BSD's - that is *all*. You guys are probably better qualified to speculate about the differences, as I know hardly anything about BSD, except that I don't get the same community driven, freedom feeling about it.

Just watched a VERY boring (and rushed) lecture on BSD:

Now, I am NO expert on BSD, but there is something I just don't like about it - it makes me feel uncomfortable, and as if the whole OS has it's roots in corporate money making & greed, I may be wrong here, but GNU & Linux seems to be a *LOT* better philosophy, and far more widespread.

I cannot pinpoint exactly what it is that I am trying to convey here, suffice to say...

BSD = fail. BSD = ugh!.

PS: I admire GNU/Linux far more, as it has been effectively written from scratch as a Unix *clone*, whereas BSD is just a port... as far as I know.

Seems to me you're judging BSD on a youtube lecture. I don't really think you're making a fully educated decision on the matter. I'm not a BSD advocate by a long shot. My gripes, .. or maybe indifferences is a better word, about BSD are technical and first hand experienced. Perhaps you should try it before dubbing it a failure.

When it comes to UNIX, I'm all about SYSV. Give OpenSolaris a spin after playing with BSD. I'd be curious to hear your feedback.

The BSD license is more free than the GPL.









GO!

Your flaming a whole SERIES of operating systems. And judging it off a video you saw. Try it before you judge it. It's unix-like, so it should be familiar.

This topic was a lack of foresight on my behalf - I have requested it be closed.

Really? I tried it, and it's pretty much the same as Linux. I think if you had a barebones Linux box you'd hate it too. What's so bad about it. Elaborate your vent.

Corporate money making & greed, what?!!!!! I think you're confused about the USL v. BSDi lawsuit. Please don't bother posting accusatory remarks like the OP if you have no idea what you're talking about.

hey, he requested the thread be closed. He was just stating his first opinion.
