FreeBSD 5 kicks ass

My FreeBSD box is a beast. Replaced my video card (e-geforce 2), got my mysql and apache servers running, and it doesnt break a sweat under loads. Great server OS.

Much more testing to do though....

I still have a boner for OpenBSD. But FreeBSD is still one slick OS.

I ran the NVidia drivers on 5.0rc2 long ago. Just took some modification of a config.h file, and some added kernel mods, and all was good. Still don't have a reason to use them now, so I've been slacking on installing them.

AS for OpenBSD, I think RH just got moved down the list by 1. OpenBSD is very kickass, but gotta love FreeBSD too. Hell. I bet if I used NetBSD I would just like them all (excluding all the side project BSDs).

With a little help I'm now 100% on FreeBSD and I love it.

Yes OpenBSD is super sexy awsome fun flash woohaw OS UNIX BSD.

NetBSD is very similar to OpenBSD except it doesn't have the strong code audits and has an interesting portable subsystem in place for porting. They rely on strn* in kernel instead of strl* but feels very similar to OpenBSD.
