Worshipping the Devil

I don't why but today I installed FreeBSD 6.1 on my laptop after getting rid of Ubuntu Linux , the reason being I am planning to start doing some FreeBSD development in my spare time. The couple of reasons of moving over to FreeBSD development from Linux development are

1) I really like the BSD license over GPL. I think it is more commercial friendly. Now since I am a capitalistic pig, I believe in welfare of others through profit. Thou shall prosper and I think BSD license facilitates this.

2) The developer competition seems to be less for FreeBSD. Please be aware I am not saying that FreeBSD developers are in anyway technically less superior than the Linux folks. What I mean is there seems to be less number of hands helping the FreeBSD project. Also I am hoping the noise is less on the FreeBSD list and more opportunity to contribute.

3) Like the BSD philosophy of not "windows bashing". I think Microsoft Windows is as (or even more) important as Unix based systems. Also having so much of diversity enables more opportunities for work because of interoperatibility.

Enough of that, so right now I have got FreeBSD working along with my favorite widowing environment WindowMaker. The next steps that I need to take are

1) Get the Ethernet and the wireless working.

2) Get vpnc and rdesktop working, so that if required I do office work on my laptop.

3) Find something like User Mode Linux to start experimenting with the BSD kernel.
