When would it be appropriate to NOT use FreeBSD over another BDS or Linux?
In other words, what strengths do other BSD or Linux have over FreeBSD.
The only reason I can think of to not use FreeBSD is:
- Desktop: want a more focus OS on the end user desktop experience. In which case, you can use PC-BSD.
- Multi Platform Support: need more hardware / platform support - in which case you can use NetBSD.
I am having a hard time understanding why anyone would ever use Linux.
I'm also having a hard time in understanding why anyone would even use OpenBSD, given that in all reality FreeBSD is just as secure as OpenBSD (which is the #1 cited reason to use OpenBSD).
Please don't make this forum thread into vague "because it's better" statements.
