RH vs Debian vs FreeBSD as a server platform
TheQuirk:
I decided to go with FreeBSD. Because, you know.
Well, I don't know. I just want to toy around with it. I was also told FreeBSD and something like IPTables called "ipf" or "ipfw" and that it was "both much less confusing than iptables" and that I'll "never want to use lunix again after freebsd". It was in #freebsd, so they might be a _little_ biased . Anyone know anything about that?
voidmain:
I figured it came from a BSD forum. I use both, I like both. I do have some preference for Linux but more for political reasons than technical. I have found it's much easier to get Linux into corporations because all the big guys are starting to embrace it.
And I prefer the GPL license for most of the applications because I hate people that steal code, turn it into a proprietary product and don't give anything back. Microsoft is one of many examples of that. They took BSD's TCP/IP stack/utilities, bastardized it and then don't release any information about it so other products can not interoperate with them. This really isn't possible with GNU systems.

I'll see how it goes.

but we know how much of a shit microsoft gives about stealing anything, so if linux's tcp/ip stack beat bsd's, im sure it would have "found" its way into windows

I would never make the claim that Linux' TCP/IP stack beats BSD because that would be a stupid claim. The BSD TCP/IP stack is well known as the best. Although the Linux TCP/IP implementation has gotten much much better than it once was it still isn't the best.
