Why I Love freeBSD

I've only skimmed this nice post.
Thorough reading will follow later

Some highlights which resonate with me *as flageolets on a string instrument* are captured here in screenshots I've made on an Android

• Many tools still work exactly as they did (decades ago)

• The feeBSD handbook taught me an enormous ammount, more than many of my University courses, including things that had nothing to do with freeBSD specifically

• This is vital

• The handbook taught me the right approach

  understand first, act second

This is a principle I use since I've been a peuter (NL).

• Analyze what occured
• understand why it occured
• find out under what circumstances it can occur
• close or limit those conditions
• fix the problem by repairing, cooling, modifying the break
• analyse the proposed fix before implementing
• Only replace when all other methods fail or repair is more expensive than replacement

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.
