Operating Systems BSD what should I use? Post 53366 by obitus on Tuesday 13th of July 2004 03:42:43 PM

I would suggest against using BSD for a normal desktop machine. Don't get me wrong, I have a FreeBSD workstation, however it's primary target is not desktop.

A breakdown of which BSD is suited for which task:

FreeBSD:
Great general server. Extremely stable and fast. Pretty much anything that is disk->network or network->disk, FreeBSD is great for. (Web Server, News Server, Mail Server) This includes machine that are going to handle extreme load.

OpenBSD:
Great for secuirty. This includes firewalls, authentication servers (kerberos), VPNs (IPSEC for example) and other network security tasks.

NetBSD:
Great for odd hardware. NetBSD will run on pretty much anything. If you have some odd machine you'd like to run unix on, check out NetBSD.

There are just general overviews, it is not saying that OpenBSD won't make a good web server, or FreeBSD is insecure, it is just pointing out the strongest points of each *BSD operating system.
