I''m curious as to how many people out there develop under FreeBSD. Anyone?
OK, so who uses FreeBSD?

Now that this is a Unix forum, I guess this isn''t too offtopic

Martee, this isn''t in the least bit offtopic
I''ve never had the opportunity to use FreeBSD, but I plan to be doing some significant OS research in the near future as I start messing around with homebrew embedded devices... I''ll be sure to post both my findings and musings here.

Thanks to Kylotan for the idea!

I''ve used it from time to time at a few jobs.
It''s just another BSD based *nix. BSD''s have a reputation for tight programming though and security.

Nope, never tried it. I''d like to give it a shot here pretty soon though when I start messing around with an old Pentium 133 I have. I''d like to make it into a fileserver or something, and I may get BSD on it to try it out.

FreeBSD!!! Probably my favorite of the free unix-like environments. Mainly because of its networking abilities.
Ooops, the AP message above was mine.

Hi,
Well the installing was a little weird in the beginning but I love freebsd now. Although it doesn''t have the huge support and packages which linux has, on the whole it seens to be a sturdy OS.
Well given a choice of freebsd or linux, I would rather go with freebsd but of course it also depends on the nature of use.
I am glad I can say I use freebsd & linux for development :-)

I would recommend FreeBSD for network infrastructure, and Linux for applications. Since applications are more likely to require customized configurations and respond to a wider variety of situations (network protocols don''t permit much discrepancy), this works perfectly - even in tandem.
On a related note, where do you all see the various *nixes developing most? I think the desktop computing paradigm, while still very popular and strong, has its days numbered and the unices - particularly Linux - will see an explosion in use as we shift to "invisible computing" (voice recognition, text-to-speech, natural language synthesis, distributed computing, etc).
Opinions?

That''s the only reason I haven''t given it (any BSD, that is) a try yet. If I ever set up a server box I''ll be able to give one of them a try since it won''t be needed for desktop-like usage.

I am LEARING FreeBSD.. OpenBSD is prety cool, but FreeBSD''s site has iso''s to download and burn so you don''t have to install from ftp.. can you remember ftp.mirrors3.someplace.net/pub/....? I can''t.
Since *NIX has came a cool open developer''s choice,I''m looking into it.
The "Free" FreeBSD Handbook comes in handy, but it''s over 510 pages of text!
BTW if anyone knows how to build a NAT router.. please help me out =)
I cannot find the kernel options file.
THANKS!
