> There's a big reason I use OpenBSD over freebsd; one that neither of >.you seemed to touch on. Hardware platform support, I run OpenBSD on > Apple Macintosh, Sun Sparc, and HP 9000 boxes. Doing this with > FreeBSD just isn't possible (yet... I know various ports have been >started), however when it comes to the i386 platform I run FreeBSD pretty much exclusively. Primarily for the reasons indicated in your emails: ease of use, ports collection, email/list support. Well, that's my two cents. > As someone around here said recently, FreeBSD users prefer "proper" computers ie NOT AppleMacs :) Seriously though I was certainly aware of the OpenBSD support, but thats not a relevant issue for me ... & many "serious" users are probably in the same boat for that matter. A Sun SPARC would be an overkill for most situations I strike ..... however if I had one it would definitely stay with Solaris & a decent GUI.rather than some poxridden unstable KDE disaster. > Nathan Vidican > Nathan@Vidican.com > http://Nathan.Vidican.com/ > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
