I'm a UNIX user and system administrator for a couple of years now. Some years ago I tried Linux and FreeBSD and decided for the latter one. One reason was that FreeBSD behaves much more than a traditional UNIX system than Linux. I don't need a colorized ls command, I don't need a corrupted terminal after a remote login from a DEC or SUN workstation to a Linux box (ok - recent versions behave less worse) and so on. Now I observe that for example 2.2.6-RELEASE comes with a drastically (to my mind) changed ftp client. I read in the release notes the 2.2.7-RELEASE has an ls command with many new options. Excuse me - but now I seem to be irritated. Where does FreeBSD go? Will it leave the traditional BSD line which seems to be strong argument for using FreeBSD? I'm interested in other people's opinion here. May be advocacy is not the best newsgroup to discuss it but there seems to be some relationship.
