It doesn’t always have to be Linux - An intro to FreeBSD (gpn24)
from Chaos Computer Club - recent events feed (low quality) · host Jana
How is FreeBSD different from Linux, what does it do well and why should I care? While Linux is still struggling for mainstream attention on desktop, it‘s already dominant in the server space. But monocultures are bad, so this raises the question: What else is out there? For the last year I‘ve been diving head-first into FreeBSD and I now use it for most of the things I host. In this talk I want to share with you what this underrepresented OS does well, what software you can run on it and I hope to be able to peek your interest enough to maybe give it a try yourself.
