For some reason the words Keep It Simple, Stupid come to my mind.


Most people when they post will likely be using one form of BSD or another, so I think FooBSD General makes sense.

Even if you abstract into general topics of 'networking, programming' etc you basically include ALL BSD systems. For programming and (most) server apps I can understand, since much of the specifics are lesser so.

I.e. OpenBSD comes with Perl in the base, FreeBSD doesn't, but writing a perl script is mostly the same on any of the BSDs. And configuring sendmail is mostly just sendmail.


The one thing I do like, on BSD you always know where in the universe to look for stuff and it usually is organized !!!
