Re: FreeBSD

I was going to say the same thing, I used to use CentOS to get customers to buy RHEL but now I'm likely going to go all in on FreeBSD even more than I used to, which was quite a bit. It's never surprised me either, which is exactly what I'm after for a server. I don't want surprises, at all. Neither do my customers. I want stability and not having to worry about stupid business decisions affecting a product I'm having someone use.

I just wish a desktop oriented downstream version of FreeBSD (like how PC-BSD and FuryBSD were) would survive more than a year or two as FreeBSD's stability is second to none but it's a pretty big pain in the ass to get a DE running with it, it's definitely doable but it was nice to have most of the configuration done already.
