I'm a Gentoo and Arch user. I love these two distributions dearly. Though I've only been a Linux user for about two years now, I see its potential. I stumbled across the BSD operating systems a couple of weeks ago and I'm trying to find out about them. I've heard that BSD "isn't that good", or that the BSD developers use Macs to develop FreeBSD. And that there's this USB drive thing where the system gets a kernel panic when when you take it out of the slot before you unmount it. And that BSD is much slower than Linux and everything else.
Is this stuff true? Why do people use FreeBSD instead of Linux? Or Mac? Or Windows? What does BSD have that all the other operating systems don't?
