Distro Wars - The Card Game
Just thought I'd share this funny card game, Distro Wars, that was posted today at UserFriendly.I see people debate all the time which *nix distribution is best so I just found the game rather humorous.
Personally, I'm a BSD fan. FreeBSD in particular just has certain aspects to it that makes it stick out as a good unix to choose. I guess it's just the way my brain is wired when I'm using FreeBSD things just make sense to me. The system is organized logically, the ports tree is amazing, and the users and developers show a level of professionalism that you rarely see in open source communities.
More than anything the history of the OS is was first drew me in. FreeBSD, the free BSD based os for Intel hardware, has been around since 1993. BSD which FreeBSD is based on has been around since 1978. Then again BSD was built from the Original AT&T Unix OS that was created way back in 1969. Now that's some serious history!
Anyways, today is my last day of vacation. It's back to college tomorrow for my last semester, hopefully. I have to meet with a advisor to review my transcripts and make sure I meet all the requirements. I've looked over the requirements myself and I'm fairly certain everything is in order. I can't wait to graduate and join the "real" world.
Debian Linux seems great.
