FreeBSD OpenBSD or OpenSolaris as a Linux replacement!

This video is simply to say that GNU/Linux is not the only free operating system out there, if you are an experienced *nix user, this video hopefully gives you some reasons why you should consider alternative operating systems such as FreeBSD, OpenBSD, or OpenSolaris.

FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Slackware, Solaris, used/use them all, all are hackable. THE OS DOESNT SUCK, IT IS THE USER WHO SUCKS..

Linux is not really an OS. It's just the kernel. It's just that I think most people seem to bunch them up together and therefore misuse the term.

Linux / UNIX sucks more every year because power is traded for usability for N00b users. Just install windows and stop making UNIX worse than it already is. FreeBSD, OpenBSD, OpenSolaris, and Linux are ok systems that were better.

I hate UNIX's idea of having to use a Terminal for commands. I use Linux currently Mepis ver 11 but all Linux's are the same under the hood. I also love windows 7, But the best free OS I really like is PC-BSD's latest called Isotope. I think any windows desktop user can use it easily. PC-BSD is Free-BSD that's geared to the desktop user. You never have to use a terminal for normal use. It will run all popular Linux apps out of the box as well as Wine and Games in wine.

PC-BSD could be a very good Linux replacement IMO. It's not for COMPLETE beginners though, just people who know enough about computers to use Ubuntu or Mint.

I'll use any os that allows me to use more cli (which real men should use) and less bloated, graphical shit like windows, which my nub, little sister loves so much.

@vseae15o "Do you ask them what their name means every time?" But I'm talking about cases where there is no 'every time'. "Who cares what people think?" I do! Are you the type of person who just talks about your interest regardless whether others are interested or not? "They can look it up" They can, but they won't. Do you look up every term you hear? "just tell them it's just called that way" WHAT'S CALLED THAT WAY? LINUX IS CALLED GNU/LINUX??

@senantiasa

"impractical" as defined by you only. Everyone has a name. Do you ask them what their name means every time? Who cares what people think? They can look it up or just tell them it's just called that way. Just call it GNU/Linux. Big deal.
