Informative thread but I think we should scale down the images. It's for those who are on smaller displays and have bandwidth problems.

I tried GhostBSD but it just failed to boot correctly and that was before I found and tried FreeBSD. I may try NetBSD on my netbook when I get round to buying it. I'm currently trying to get FreeBSD working on a 95' system, nice high quality post mate.

OpenBSD is really awesome. Too bad I rely on my closed source Nvidia drivers.
RE: BSD Distribution List - yrmt - 22-07-2012
Yes, but not the latest like I want. OpenBSD is always my option on hardware without a proper graphics card.

Isn't FreeBSD the same as PC-BSD just with a gui ?

I haven't looked into it, I'm not sure if PC-BSD uses all the packages and ports available to FreeBSD. I think it auto configures specific things and whatnot you'd have to do manually in FreeBSD. Can't speak from experience so don't take it to heart.
RE: BSD Distribution List - Lith - 24-12-2012
Well i've just been 'scouting' the interwebz and they are saying 'PC-BSD is FREEBSD just with a GUI which is aimed at desktops and to be more friendly, i might actually give this a go on one of my laptops/

I read on Phoronix, but cannot find the article anymore, but I thought I saw that this developer ported Ubuntu Touch to BSD for tablets. I am not sure tho as whether or not that is correct, as I said I can't find the article.

Has anyone tried Debian/kFreeBSD?
Seems kinda cool.

I have not, I would rather just use ArchBSD. But it seems like Debian/kFreeBSD has a wider user base, so I might give it a shot.
RE: BSD Distribution List - nrmc.dubz - 30-08-2013
The Debian-Developers say that Debian/kFreeBSD is not a BSD Distribution, it should be a GNU-Distribution.
But ArchBSD is on my list for Systems to try in the next time.

Quote:The Debian-Developers say that Debian/kFreeBSD is not a BSD Distribution, it should be a GNU-Distribution.FreeBSD-kernel, GNU/Linux-userland .. so even if calling it a distribution of BSD is wrong, calling it a GNU distribution is even worse in my eyes.

IMHO you are right, but why they should call it GNU-Distribution, if it is not?

Quote:But if they say it is a GNU-Distribution… They're know best what they doThe developers don't always know it the best, especially when it comes to such 'politicized' topics.
Quote:It's not one or the other. It's a hybrid distribution.Ack.

Here is a new one I just heard about called MirOS. Which does not have Mir as its display manager, its name had to do with Mirports (now depreciated) and is a fork of Openbsd.
Here is a link to their about page, and down the way a little bit it talks about the changes they made from Openbsd.
