Jason Miller, 2004-07-01

The curse of complexity is the bane of every security administrator, so UNIX users take your pick: would you like BSD or Linux?

BSD makes a great server O/S for all the reasons you mention ... but on the desktop, it lacks in many areas (like all those 'features' you discussed).

For example, getting DRI to work when using the Gateway they made me buy here at the office (Intel 845 chipset) .. No driver available for it, thus while X4.3 runs just fine, I get no MPlayer so I can't watch movies while watching gcc do it's thing in a shell window.
