- You can (change how to) compile /tailor almost everything, yet whole OS doesn't feel fragmented. - Provided you have massive ;) WITHOUT_* stack in make.conf you can have pretty frugal system. (hal, dbus etc.) - Native Opera support, yes it really mattered to me, and still matters. Web browser is usually single most used application. - Compiling base system from source and customising e.g. kernel is actually supported (not like in OpenBSD, which (for valid reasons!) is rather discouraged). - You can actually have all (ports & base) binaries on particular system compiled from source on the same machine, not only it's supported, it's popular route. - Huge ports system, mostly simple & sane (vanilla sources, clear structure). - Portmaster. - Good Thinkpad support usually. - STABLE branch, every day is release day ;) -- View this message in context: http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/Why-Are-You-Using-FreeBSD-tp5713439p5713522.html Sent from the freebsd-stable mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
