What's the point of BSD?

What's the point of any of the BSDs in 2016? I don't mean for personal use, I mean for any use.

Well Unlike Linux distros, *BSD is tested as a whole instead of individually

Yeah. There is no way that Canonical actually tests everything once it's put together.

Nope

To carry the torch of Unix philosophy in open source. But I think illumos does a better job.

Totally false.

that's it.

Post it faggot.

Post the link you fag. That pic could have been taken years ago.

I'm dealing with a moran.

FreeBSD for NAS and datacenter.
OpenBSD for router/firewall.

OpenBSD is a great firewall. Plus they develop technologies like OpenSSH.

FreeBSD makes a better router. Especially in the form of JUNOS.

NetBSD for embedded...

k

Looks decent.

Why not use RHL?

>JUNOS
Absolutely disgusting.
Is it RTOS?

to be the hero gotham needs, but not the hero gotham deserves

Don't be smug.

it's an accolade

illumos has everything illumos has but RHL doesn't have anything illumos has.

>Is it RTOS?
No

NuttX for rtos embedded :^)

RHL has all that shit or clones of it.

To make Linux look more popular in comparison

not to mention crossbow and linux branded zones

>shit clones of it
You got that right.

ammo drop

The entire netflix cdn runs off freebsd

there are even active subprojects...

github.com/openzfs/openzfs
github.com/joyent/illumos-joyent
github.com/omniti-labs/illumos-omnios

and has backing from several fairly big companies

One of them is now Samsung.

Exactly

>samsung spends money to develop illumos :^)

Is it worth it?

It's ex-linux hipsters who dropped it because they didn't feel it was satisfying their special snowflakism. Absolutely viable in such a time since you have a huge market of hipsters all trying to be different from one another. This is what happens when the new wave of dropouts combines with a mass communication system like the internet, you get virtual psuedo posers and virtual psuedo street cred. They couldn't get a job any where so they had to find a way to still pretend to be better than everyone else. Outside of that the point of BSD is for it to be stolen by corporations.

>Outside of that the point of BSD is for it to be stolen by corporations.

Consider the fact that if someone contribute to bsd/mit/apache code they already know their work can be reused in proprietary sw and they don't give a shit. It's their free time and decision anyway.

what's the point of life?

i should just start screenshotting your posts

NetBSD really doesn't have a purpose anymore.

it's for running on junk that Linux distros have quit supporting, like 486/586 machines

there's a few nice parts

the whole system can be built on ANY POSIX operating system, i believe

install gentoo

have fun compiling Xorg on a 486

A new release of OpenIndiana was just released today.

Linux is literally Windows open source edition at this point. Feel free to use it if you like crapware.

Everyone's gradually realizing Linux is not comfy on the desktop anymore and migrating to TrueOS.

On the server side of things, Linux' been dead on the water for a while now. FreeBSD is the way to go for storage and network infrastructure is pretty much OpenBSD's turf, with maybe a little bit of room for pfSense/OPNsense.

You only use Linux these days if you want cheap web servers or VM hypervisors.

or if you use something like SAP, SAS, or shit like that 'cause... you know... shit like that isn't supported on AND BSD.

goddammit...

>ANY BSD

>Linux' been dead on the water for a while now
Literally all new networking gear runs Linux, any BSD environments you see now days are legacy and running in VMs.

True facts.

>SAP

basically.

SAS consultants might have a few more stacks of cash though.

Linux just provides the hypervisor - the control planes in Juniper equipment are JUNOS

So OSX can have a new major update on 3 years

I think BSD does better, and Plan 9 and Inferno, while absolutely not Unix, helps us remember Bell Lab philosophies.
I wish they'd boot on my computer.

151a9 was released a lot more than just a few days ago.

He's talking about 2016.10

stable releases are dead, it's rolling release with install snapshots twice a year

Not sure if ignorant or trolling...

Juniper
PS4
PFSense
Ridding faggots of their money (MacOS)
fun (yeah, some people are interested in technology, but you won't find them on this board)

my nigga

Still no answer.

growing, mating and die with someone.

Yes, but it's bloat. 486 is supported by linux.

ZFS is came from elsewhere as most of the drivers made in the days of the Sun.

they're all compromised.

How's work Lennart? Don't you have to work on systemd-kerneld or something?

hey poettering, why didn't you just rip off SMF?

===>>> All ports are up to date

FreeBSD is comfy.
