GNOBSD - A beginning
,----[ Quote ]
| I first heard about GNOBSD, a new fledgling,
| little known operating system, while reading
| a rather tragic story aptly named GNOBSD -
| killed by GUI-is-for-wimps hacker culture
| over at DistroWatch.com. Hacker culture,
| that sounds almost like haute couture. To
| cut the long story short, it turns out
| GNOBSD was about to bring a big change into
| the murky waters of UNIX and then, it hit
| the spiky wall of resistance and resentment
| of hardcore BSD fans. The developer was so
| dismayed that he removed the ISO file from
| his website, but then, after much popular
| demand, put it back. It's alive and kicking
| now.
|
| [...]
|
| GNOBSD is not a complete system yet. But
| it's a beginning, a great beginning.
| Alongside its already graphical brethren
| from the UNIX world, PC-BSD and Open
| Solaris, GNOBSD could bring a breath of
| change into computing market. It will sure
| not shatter the foundations of Redmond and
| Cupertino just yet or dislodge the highly
| popular Linux distributions from their
| throne, but it does not have to be about
| total annihilation. This could be a
| benevolent, smart effort to allow UNIX fans
| a real competitive edge in the fluid,
| modern, gadget-oriented market. It's never
| been about technology, but integration into
| the human society.
|
| I love the concept and I hope it will
| flourish into a fully usable system that
| desktop users can enjoy as a viable
| alternative to other available operating
| system, with the comfort of security and
| stability of BSD.

Taking a look at PC-BSD 8.0

| While on the topic of other operating systems,
| it's hard for me, as a long-time Linux user,
| not to constantly compare PC-BSD to the
| penguin. Usually, these comparisons turn out
| favourably for PC-BSD. For example, PC-BSD
| runs faster on my systems than most of the
| full-sized Linux distributions and it
| generally used less memory. My notebook has an
| Intel video card and it's a card that has
| tripped up some of the more popular distros,
| but PC-BSD handled it without any problems.
| Likewise, sound worked on both of my machines
| without any tweaking, a feat Linux isn't
| always able to match. Some people might not
| like the PBI self-contained packaging
| approach, but the OS supports more traditional
| forms of package management, ensuring PBI
| files do not have to be used.
