Why I love FreeBSD

A personal reflection on my first encounter with FreeBSD in 2002, how it shaped the way I design and run systems, and why its philosophy, stability, and community still matter to me more than twenty years later.

For me, FreeBSD is like vinyl.

It's OK to like it, or love it, and no-one can authoritatively tell you that you're wrong to do so.

I mean, they can tell you that you're wrong, but ultimately: it's about what pleases the listener.

I mean, what pleases the user.

Attached: 1 image Dear Mr Bennett arrived! John Pizzarelli’s first vinyl LP release since 1987 :’) ♡ I love that mailing lists are still a thing. He emailed his fans late last year to preorder. I know some that only announce on Insta, etc.
