I’m starting a series of BSD user interviews to help beginners (mostly
developers and system administrators) to discover BSD operating
systems and related projects.

These are nice to read, thanks for doing them.

Edit: Now I want to install OpenBSD! 😅

Thanks. I read through all your articles. I’ve installed it in a VM
before, and installing is very easy - just press enter! - but never
did much more than that.

I recently ordered a new (to me) T450s, and think I’m going to go
OpenBSD instead of my usual Arch Linux.

Thank you for reading.
Ping me if you need any help with OpenBSD.

Check if all programs you need are ported:

Been running FreeBSD mainly on servers for as long as I can remember
lol.. from PC servers to dedicated servers and now on the cloud.. as
always.. it's a great OS.

This is an interesting project, I am glad people like you are still
around these days.

I have been using FreeBSD for the past 11 years, mostly for NAS/
WebServer/ PHP Server/ routing/ GW/ Firewall/ VPN in SOHO. I also like
to try NetBSD on embedded hardware and development boards, and I have
done a full blown (unofficial) port of Gentoo and AlpineLinux 3.7
aarch64 for the RaspberryPI 3, plus I have one for the Odroid C1+ in
the making.

Currently I am working as SAN and NAS Technical Support Engineer for
NetApp.
