Just wanted to start this thread to see what people use FreeBSD for.
I'm a home user that has been converted to FreeBSD from a long term Linux user. I would love to own a Mac, but in Australia it costs too much to buy one. So I decided to give a BSD operating system a go; started with DragonflyBSD but didn't really like the pkgsrc way of doing things.
I really like the ports way of doing things and think I will stick with FreeBSD as everything I have put on my PC works without any hiccups. So I hope other users could give a brief statement why they use FreeBSD and what other operating system they came from.
Cheers dave
