Main differences between all the DSBs? reddit / BSD ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2019-10-02 00:09 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SaturnFive · 2019-10-02 01:20 TL;DR * NetBSD — Portable. Runs on everything, even toasters * FreeBSD — Fast. Latest tech (and ZFS!) * OpenBSD — Secure. Two holes in a heck of a long time I'm being a bit facetious, but these are the common traits/tropes from my point of view. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2019-10-02 01:26 [RUN BSD](https://runbsd.info) will tell you everything you need to know. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- cHy40444 · 2019-10-02 02:15 Thanks, this cleared it up a bit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2019-10-02 05:13 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kraileth · 2019-10-02 05:48 If you're looking for some more information, I wrote an overview article about this topic. It's a bit older now, but since it's meant to give an overview of what the four big BSD projects are trying to achieve, it's still valid: [https://eerielinux.wordpress.com/2016/08/20/how-to-choose-your-bsd- os-to-begin-with](https://eerielinux.wordpress.com/2016/08/20/how-to- choose-your-bsd-os-to-begin-with) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- guy_threepwood · 2019-10-02 06:09 DSB-RC transmits a little bit of the carrier frequency so you can use it as a reference In DSB-SC the carrier is entirely suppressed ---------------------------------------------------------------------- myrouterisgoingnuts · 2019-10-02 06:45 What about DragonflyBSD? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- myrouterisgoingnuts · 2019-10-02 06:46 LOL ---------------------------------------------------------------------- myrouterisgoingnuts · 2019-10-02 07:22 Whoa this article you wrote had very juicy details in here that are very valuable to someone who is familiar with Linux and the various popular programs used in it Many thanks for this! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RafneQ · 2019-10-02 09:28 Noob question - those different BSDs should be seen as something like defferent Linux distros ? Or it's more like different operating systems ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- j0holo · 2019-10-02 09:56 Different OSes, some developers work on multiple BSDs but they are not the same as distros. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sigzero · 2019-10-02 14:33 * DragonFlyBSD - scalability, performance (and HAMMER!) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2019-10-02 17:51 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2019-10-02 18:26 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DamienCouderc · 2019-10-02 19:37 It's not like this question is asked at least every month. Some people on reddit are extremely lazy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- cHy40444 · 2019-10-02 20:21 I'm trying to learn dude :/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SaturnFive · 2019-10-03 00:10 The Linux kernel is often the same or similar between different distros, but the userland (the included programs), package manager, defaults, etc., may differ greatly which gives each distro its individual flavor. The kernel can sometimes be updated independently of everything else that makes a distro. There are a lot of different Linux distros, but they are more-or-less based around the same kernel (as the kernel can be configured and modified). In BSD the kernel, the userland, the drivers, and everything else are one system and one OS. Everything is developed together in the same source code tree. This probably isn't 100% absolute and correct... but it's my general understanding. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- cHy40444 · 2019-10-03 00:57 Omg, I JUST realized I said dsb lmfao ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DamienCouderc · 2019-10-03 18:05 Good then you should maybe start by learning how to look for information or you'll be quickly lost because BSD community is more about doing your homework instead of assisted recipes that you can find in Linux howtos. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PitifulView · 2019-10-03 23:05 [it does](https://dmesgd.nycbug.org/index.cgi?do=view&id=5113)
