Here's my unsolicited .02. I have FreeBSD running a 25.5 terabyte array at Vandy. Actually, I have two identical systems, that rsync each other every 4 hours. Within 3 feet of that, is a box running Ubuntu, which then has virtual machines on it, running FreeBSD. Once of those is running Nagios, which watches all of the servers I watch.
In my office, there are several laptops running Backtrack 4, which was based on Debian originally, and should now be based on Ubuntu. There's a MacBook Pro with OS/X which is based on FreeBSD. There are also four other machines in my office running WIndows XP, and one running WIndows 7. The moral to the story? There isn't one. A good craftsman uses the tools available to him, in the manner best served by their strengths/weaknesses. I have many machines setup for different things. Sure, ubuntu runs apache just fine... But I prefer FreeBSD for a webserver. I like ubuntu as a workstation, as opposed to FreeBSD. (I've used freebsd as a workstation) It depends on what you want to accomplish, and how you want to get there. Everyone has an opinion, and sometimes that can get in the way of you getting to your final destination. Make your own decisions, and give it a shot. It may not always work... Thanks guys, for not dogging FreeBSD. It's always been there for me, but it's not the only tool I have. :) -Sky --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
