What have I done? I've offered to give a FreeBSd presentation to the
local Linux Users group. At first I thought I'd give the standard
"Why FreeBSD is good" spiel that I give to my customers. I realize
that they generally trust me, so I don't have to work so hard.
However, the User group guy has asked me to 'Compare it with Linux',
which leaves me a little cold. I'll have an opportunity to install it
from scratch, to show it off. I though I'd put the emphasis on 'BSD',
with FreeBSD as a particular, Intel/Alpha oriented branch.
I had been thinking along these lines:
1. Loose history.
2. Install it over ethernet from my machine.
3. Why its good for admins:
like most of the other BSD's. Administration is simpler.
Easy maintenence via cvsup, make world, etc.
ports.
compatibility with Linux/SCO/BDSI binaries.
4. Demo cvsup.
5. Install a port.
Any other ideas?
