I can`t get it..why all people here just post a thread just Linux
anyone here using BSD or other UNIX?
Many people here use BSD/UNIX. You can post about whatever you want, whether it be just linux, or BSD/UNIX. If it's any of those and isn't about security just post in the Operating Systems forum, and if it's about security just put it in the *nix forum. And if you're not sure, just put it where it best fits, and a mod will move it if it's wrong. I'm sure that wasn't what you wanted, but you were kinda vague so that's all I could come up with. Sorry.
Thanx for dat info mate
That's not true. Theres way more Windows threads than linux threads. Me personally I havent had the chance to run BSD yet but I'm currently using Suse 9.0 and Slackware 9.1 Redhat 9 Windows XP Professional. What is the most secure BSD Operating system? FREEBSD NETBSD OPENBSD etc...Quote:

BSD and Linux.....This dude is trying to start a holy war. Some people like linux more, some liek bsd, deal with it and quit replying to every thread you see with "use unix" jack ass. there are bsd threads here too. a few people installed bsd for the first time and when they woke up there box was rooted. quit dragging up 3 year old threads to say you use an os that can be installed on a toilet paper roll, no one gives a **** what you use, we are here tot alk about information, not tell everyone what to do.
round 2 DING.Quote:
i dont get it, what the hell does this have to do with security.
sorry bout dat...im not to start a holy war between linux n BSD..honest..i just wonder ing why more ppl ask bout linux..got any BSD user here..and one more thing OpenBSD is one of the most secure OS...that is a fact..:)
AIX is secure, Trusted solaris is secure, HP-UX is secure, but do you know what? an os depends on the admin, not the code.....well unless its windows ME, then your ****ed either way, but with most OSs, the admin makes it asecure, not the code. Openbsd, yes, very secure, but so are the things i listed. and Solaris and AIX and HP-UX, are also REAL UNIX systems, not clones like BSD and Linux. Linux is secure, more than people usually give it credit for, but it, nor any other OS is perfect.
if you are into bsd as much as you seem, check out the links in my sig, you might like them. i like bsd, but i dont like people going around like they are hardcore because they use something else. its not like bsd is hard to install, i'v done it a million times.
i like linux, i like bsd, i like unix, but i can also use all of them, but linux just does what i need so i use that. bsd is good for servers, well, so is slackware. http://www.slackware.com the entire web site runs off ONE computer. its a pentium 3 600 mhz machine with 512 RAM, and a T1 running slackware linux. that should atest to how good slack is.
also, if you install slack and free bsd, there are virtually the same in looks. slack was made with stability in mind, not prettyness.
if you really want to get into some bsd and linux discussion, this is very much the web site. just put it in the operating systems forum.
That is a fact.
I personally have a preference to Linux, as I'm an old System V UNIX-head. BSD is just as good as far as I can see. There is really no overwhelming negative side to using one as opposed to the other, IMHO, as long as they are properly patched and hardened. It's simply a matter of preference.
Besides...we're all in the same family! Can't we all just get along ;)
Windows ME! ROTFLMFAO!!!! I don't even call that an OS!
BTW: BSD is not a unix clone...it is also a true UNIX....BSD UNIX. Just because it's not based on System V and doesn't cost a fourtune doesn't mean it's not UNIX!
We'll debate this one later, though...this is the wrong forum for that! :D
Hi Bintara,
Might I suggest that you will eventually come round to my way of thinking?
You will use whatever the guy who will sign your pay check wants you to use?
/Me I mostly use windows or expensive unix distributions............my cats get fed on a regular basis............and do not have to hunt for their food?............if that needs doing I will take care of it?
Theory is fine, economics is reality ;)
cheers
Agreed
nihil.....gott love 'em! It just wouldn't be the same without you to make me laugh! BTW, what's you favorite "expensive distribution"?

I started with AIX, then moved on to SCO (no comment!!!), then Sun Solaris.............I do not actually have a "favourite".....like I said...you use what you are given?
I know that I may seem terribly mercenary and all that, but companies buy computing to run the business.....not for me to have fun? :(
cheers
bsd at first was unix, they had to take the code from AT&T out remember? they no longer have any unix code.
Good point.
You know eventually someone is going to make an OS that BSD/UNIX/LINUX users will all agree on and say, "Yeah that is a good OS" instead of "Well it is a good OS, but..."
Either that or there is eventually going to be a crazy jihad and there will be millions of dead open-source programmers as well as Unix gueriila groups and Linux terrorist organizations.
Either that or just a whole lot of forum flame.
I like linux. They had a cool commercial durring the super bowl that was sponsered by IBM.
what a great slap in the face of sco :D
That, along with the DDoS... Today is not SCO's day... :DQuote:
