I am currently looking at updating some of our advocacy material (which
advertises exciting new features like SMP support), and before I do I'd like to
get a better feel for why the rest of you are using FreeBSD. If you had to
list the three things you most like about FreeBSD, which would you pick? Are
they the same as when you first started using it?
1. High performance with security and stability focus -- truly makes it
the ideal server platform
2. The ports system (and supporting tools like portupgrade, portaudit, etc)
3. The OS "makes sense" (as Chris N. mentioned). The file system
layout, tools, etc are consistent.
There is so much other stuff too. Like PF and CARP, ZFS and more ... a
kick-ass combo of features and very server-focused.
As a professional admin FreeBSD is a pleasure to work with day in and
day out. I've never heard a admins of "other" OSes say that :P
