FreeBSD vs Raspbian??

Tue Jan 22, 2013 11:41 am

According to the front page there is a FreeBSD unofficial release for the Raspberry Pi.
I had friends who prefer FreeBSD over Linux but to be honest I don't see any real difference.

Can anyone tell me what are the benefits of running FreeBSD over Raspbian for the Raspberry Pi??

Probably none at the moment - the *BSD ports are under development (read: not everything works) When they get further along, I assume it will be personal preference that drives the decision.
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
When General Failure and Major Disaster get together, Private Parts usually suffers.
