I would suggest you go back to the Linux world and stay there. Having a computer science degree and understanding things at the bit level, as well as being a Sr. Sysadmin for over 25 years, quite frankly, a lot of the points you bring up are dramatically untrue. I find your postings to be nothing more than trolling and bashing. If you choose to be constructive with solutions, I'm fine with that. If you choose to be CONSTRUCTIVELY critical, I'm fine with that. As for what the user base is, and the all the other things, including the above, you are grossly misinformed. I make my salary as a consultant on RHEL and other Linux variants. Thank <deity> the Linux kernel and its supporting userland is so unstable and has so many CVEs. It's going to keep me employed right through until retirement. If they were to fix everything (package dependencies, etc), it would be so much easier to administer by all these clownish "I got me a certification" people. Darwin OS from Apple is 90% FreeBSD. Apple is, by far, the largest shipper of *nix systems in the world. Netflix... FreeBSD. Do some research, FreeBSD is in more products than you imagine and outstrips the attempted in-roads by Linux products.... (all 250+ variant OS's based on the Linux kernel) I used to be from the era of Slackware.... The stability was terrible. The Linux following continued to grow due to many who weren't trained in proper software process and procedure wanting to be 'Tech! Me, too'. 'Lookee, I writes a program'. To this day, I laugh at the fact that RHEL is 3-4 versions behind CentOS as, due to requiring stability, they can only move forward once it is at the stability level necessary of a true commercial product... aka pseudo-bulletproof... but still not at the quality of FreeBSD that can release a x.0 release and have it run flawlessly. Also, the CVEs reported over a release lifetime is less than 10% of those of just the Linux kernel versus and ENTIRE OS that FreeBSD is, kernel and userland. The Linux kernel and it's userland just don't stack up. I have non-tech people using TrueOS on their desks and small business using FreeBSD for their file servers. They can't believe they run for a year before I do a simple 30 minute upgrade to the next rev... and it goes, again, flawlessly. I believe why people are banning you from lists (if they, indeed, are, which thid community is not in the habit of doing), is due to the toxic attitude you have and pointing out non-issues that are encountered by user error. FreeBSD is rock solid, stable. Sir, I find you uninformed and pointing at non-issues. This list is here to help people with issues they encounter. Please stop detracting from that purpose. The list is here to help persons with their issues, not listen to trolling rants. If you have a question, as per the title of the list, post it and it will be answered by a courteous, knowledgeable person. (Since 1998, I have seen little in the way of non-courteous, egotistical, clueless responses from this community - The same cannot be said of the times I have to use Linux community lists.) Please, have a good day, but also, stop pointing at non-issues and saying "See, lookee!". Anyone can break anything. Anyone, uninformed, who wants to ramp fast and not read documentation, will have issues with anything. This is akin to not reading the directions on how to put something from IKEA together. Lack of reading directions usually leads to this list. P. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com
