In my opinion, the great thing is, that you can do what you want with OpenSource (within limits of licenses, but that is another topic). Depending on you, your users, and your usecase, you can select whatever combination of OpenSource software you find matching your requirements. If you like the good old UNIX the Berkeley way with a bit of AT&T thrown in, go for *BSD. If you like the Linus way with a gnu thrown in, go for a linux distro. If you like something else, and no distro is just right for you, just brew your own system, pulling in the upstream packages you want. I have servers with FreeBSD, because that is a perfect match for my server requirements. I had desktops and laptops with Ubuntu. When they upgraded into something too futuristic for me, I changed to LinuxMint. When that gave me too little flexibility, I changed to LFS+BLFS. When that gave me too little reproducability, I rolled my own distro. The world is full of OpenSource - please do not flame it; embrace it and use it! /Henrik -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
