I'm not so sure if it is only the companies. I think we are also consumers simply add too much. I know enough to buy all the crap, just to own it. Instead of buying wisely.

For servers I've been using it a lot longer. My motivation for switching to FreeBSD were performance reasons. The Linux kernel is so bloated the last few years, that must be studied in order to adapt it. Than, the distributions are beastly against the grain. The patch Linux to death. I sometimes feel the distributions to use Windows users and enthusiasts alike. That can not work though. There's no real compromise. To those who offer a truly custom installation? Gentoo is the distro that still allows real control. One need only study the kernel. I use only a used system. This is old. That's the advantage of FreeBSD/Gentoo. The adjustment to the hardware. This protects the system and the reserves. > That might be interesting to see as I'm surprised there are no binaries > at all. Might be able to figure out a solution too... When the update is that I'm going to look in more detail. I have not found any binaries, but perhaps lacking just this. Regards Silvio
