FreeBSD - powering Netflix servers and even videogame consoles. Speaking of videogame consoles, noticed that both Sony and Nintendo were prefer using FreeBSD as their main OS base for their platform and this is because its BSD license allows them to create closed-source systems that is fully customized to one particular hardware and they don't need to share its code to everyone.

Yes - a true gift to the world with no strings attached. Netflix on the other hand DO contribute back voluntarily.

@@12me91 I think the BSD license rocks because it allows software like OpenSSH to be included in all operating systems, even GNU/Linux and Microsoft Windows. The GPL license, on the other hand, sucks in my opinion, because there are many large corporations that secretly abuse GPL-licensed code in closed-source projects anyway. Big corporations using BSD is almost always a good thing, because most of the time they contribute code back or donate money to support development. :)

That was awesome! So 386BSD came around just a few months after GNU/Linux! The idea of a free software Unix system was around in spirit since the late 70's, even if not truly realized until 386BSD. Imagine if the AT&T lawsuit hadn't happened, maybe we'd be using BSD Unix today!

OpenBSD and FreeBSD are the operating systems that I use in my daily life (for everything, like working as a teacher and translator, playing, editing videos, etc.). I'm also a Linux (Slackware and Debian) user, which I have on my other computers and I use sometimes (to play on Steam, for example).

@@johnrickard8512 I think both are great (Debian and FreeBSD). I'd say FreeBSD feels more like Slackware, since they're more similar to Unix. The only thing you may not like about FreeBSD is: fewer drivers and fewer programs, but the difference is not that big in my opinion. On OpenBSD the difference is more noticeable.

I am so ancient I grew up on vi (now using neovim) and csh (now tsch). The kernel I use is linux. That PDP-11 brings back memories. Getting a VAX was a biggy. All very smooth when I was at LBL; I think I was mostly on SUN SYS5 machines there. Thanks for the memories. It is worth young devs looking at the history.

"Vee"? Although I say something similar in Danish, I've never said or heard it said like that in English, only "vee-eye". Regarding csh, it is considered harmful. I would never use csh or tcsh.

This video should be considered a failure due to that mispronounciation. "Vi", short for "visual editor", is pronounced by saying the 2 letters: v i.

Open source is a fascinating study, especially with it's different licensing requirements. I wonder how IBM & Canonical will affect the open source code of their respective distros. Will RHEL and Ubuntu Pro go down the same path as Android? Perhaps the evolution of proprietary and open source code will eventually intertwine to the point where it can no longer be distinguished from each other - then what will be the result of the evolution? I doubt AI will provide the crystal ball we need to look into the future.

@lejlej 7 ай бұрын

If you say that BSD became open source in the early 90s, I would say that minix predated that as open source by a wide margin. That was not a very complete distribution or functional operating system, but still completely open source. If I remember right, a few commecial operating systems moved from being based on BSD to being based on System V in the early 90s. E.g. SunOS 4 vs SunOS 5 (aka Solaris even though that was a misnomer). My first experience with BSD was in the form of Eunice which was a BSD emulator on VMS.

No, this is a huge flaw. I'd even give a pass for pronouncing it as "veye" instead of "vee eye". That's wrong but less wrong than "vee". Precision matters.

I pronounce it like that, just for fun. I'm definitely a "computer professional" by any metric, perhaps the entire world isn't subject to your whims? Or maybe your assumptions are surface level and hollow?
