When I last tried FreeBSD the install procedure and default(ish)       programs in it brought me memories of Linux. Meanwhile, OpenBSD ships with its       own structure and quirks (OpenSMTPD instead of postfix or exim , wxallow       filesystems by default, no PAM, you get the idea). NetBSD install procedure is       so RTFM that the whole thing feels like a high tech dinossaur.              Or maybe I should stop doing bourbon.       --- SBBSecho 3.08-Linux        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/2 103/705 154/10 203/0 218/700 221/0 226/17 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/354 426 452 616 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464       SEEN-BY: 280/5003 292/854 310/31 317/3 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/120       SEEN-BY: 633/280 712/848 770/1 2452/250 3828/7 5020/545       PATH: 103/705 280/464 229/426           |
