BSD Tips, Tricks, Docs and FAQ's
|
*BSD are OpenSource implementations of the complete UNIX-compatible operating system. Their most popular derivates,
FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD contain everything you need for a running system, including kernel, C libraries,
commandline tools, installation program and a superb system to integrate and update third-party applications.
Although these days Linux is in every mouth, I found BSD OS'es to be more stable, secure and especially faster
and less bloated than typical Linux distributions (while optionally offering binary Linux compatibility!).
Guess this is why BSD systems are still the most popular OS'ses of hosting services, making webservers fast and
secure by default.
With this page, I'd like to share my favorite BSD link collection with you, hoping it will ease your first steps
with the BSD of your choice.
