Sometimes you have to disable and remove Debian specific things to get systemd specific things to work. Debian GNU/Linux has adopted systemd yet at the same time the default networking part is Debian specific. The result is a system where some parts are running "the Debian way" while other parts are not. Another problem with this approach is that some third party software, and even core elements of the distribution such as systemd, cannot be forcefully shaped into "the Debian way". This is especially a problem when something isn't working right, or when the way things are described in the upstream documentation doesn't match the setup on Debian. And while this in some sense can unify how you do things on the Debian distribution, it is breaking with upstream configuration which makes it very annoying to deal with.
WINDOWS VS MAC OS X VS LINUX VS FREEBSD SOFTWARE
The Debian way is represented by the usage of a specific set of configuration management tools and patches that makes third party software conform to "the Debian way" of setting things up. With most GNU/Linux distributions I have worked with since about 1998 you get a feeling of "mismatch".Īs an example, Debian GNU/Linux has the Debian way of doing things. Clean separationīecause of the way FreeBSD has been designed, and how the different components have been put together, and how you deal with configuration and tuning, and all the tools that has been developed and improved over the cause of many years, working with FreeBSD is something special. And while I believe these issues are important and reasons to consider migrating from GNU/Linux to BSD, there also exist technical reasons to consider. In my previous article "Why you should migrate everything from Linux to BSD" part 1 and part 2 I addressed some of the "political" problems that has been going on with GNU/Linux.
Since I wrote my article "Why you should migrate everything from Linux to BSD" I have been wanting to write something about the technical reasons to choose FreeBSD over GNU/Linux and while I cannot possibly cover every single reason, I can write about some of the things that I consider worth noting. | about | faq | resources | contact | rss Technical reasons to choose FreeBSD over GNU/Linux Technical reasons to choose FreeBSD over GNU/Linux
