The customer is (almost) always right

| We had produced a version of Unix called Ultrix 
| for our PDP-11 line of computers, and several 
| releases of this had already been shipped, 
| proving itself to be a solid implementation of 
| Unix.
| 
| At the event we had a reception, with finger 
| food, beer and wine and I was standing there, 
| munching some chicken wings and drinking a beer 
| when a customer walked up to me and said:
| 
| âI think your Ultrix system really stinks.â
| 
| He actually used another word than âstinksâ, 
| also beginning with an âsâ and ending with a 
| âkâ, but this is a family-oriented blog and we 
| don't want to put anything bad here.

Taking a look at PC-BSD 8.0

,----[ Quote ]
| 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.
