Usually, they say "linux is good for servers, windows is good for > desktop" we need this changed to "linux is good for desktop, freebsd > is good for servers". freeBSD runs very well on my desktop ;) > > o gtar/tar/star/btar/blah > > In BSD (DragonflyBSD,FreeBSD,OpenBSD) there is a real attitude > problem, the idea seems to be "GNU sucks and you should use BSD > alternatives". I like the GNU, I don't like having to have 18 > versions of "make" around (gmake, make, bmake, smake...) or 20 > variants of "tar". Most people don't know or care about such things. I agree. I find it annoying when a program depends on gtar or gmake. Why can't people just use portable options? > I like both platforms. Agreeds > Tell people how great freebsd is, not how crappy linux is.
