five reasons why OpenBSD is recommended to newbies within the BSD family
Hi everybody !
While admitting that all three BSD Giants are excellent , mature , and secure operating systems .. I must confess -as a total newbie- that OpenBSD is the kindest to newbies for the following reasons at least : * Straitforward installation steps , be it on intel or on powerpc machines .. * Great documentation faqs .. although sometimes a beginner can find it hard to understand some technical jargon and so may fail to fully understand content .. * secure-by-default settings .. * OpenBSD is ready to connect and surf the web right after installation .. * OpenBSD is clean and tidy as far as the package system is concerned .. a beginner won't get lost searching for the right ports.tar.gz (think : NetBSD'S pkgsrc.**.tar.gz) .. as well as with packages .. they well represent their respective OS versions .. again that's a merely newbie evaluation which may not make sense for davanced users .. so please don't get upset .. Some would favor pcBSD .. but the PBI philosophy is anti-unix as packages gets duplicated .. We love and respect all the BSDs .. Last edited by daemonfowl; 22nd February 2012 at 11:01 PM. |
