NetBSD 6.0 Is On Approach With New Features

[kraftman]

Linux lacks simplicity and stability in some cases.

Nope. It's rock stable compared to other operating systems and it's very simple and flexible. Just use proper distribution.

What's the old saying? Jack of all trades ... master of none?
The *BSD are horrible for desktop in general (you might use it, but you'll need some extra effort on your part, and stuff won't work like it works on linux), but for servers it's a whole another story

Why would *BSD be a better server than Linux?

[kraftman]

Linux doesn't really focus on anything, and that's one of its problems. It wants to work well on servers, desktop systems and embedded systems alike, with the very same codebase.

That's a pure bullshit. It works excellent on servers, embedded systems, HPC, desktops etc. It's not surprising it has the highest market share in nearly every market.

So, the same what Linux offers.

Windows also runs on smartphones, desktop systems and servers.
iOS and OS X are kinda same and they on smartphones, tablets, desktop computer, and they had an abandoned attempt at servers.

It's better to focus on single thing and put all the efforts into it. When it goes bad just fork it.

Then things just evolve in one direction.
In nature things mutate and evolve in different directions.

So, the same what Linux offers.

Exactly my thoughts...

[kraftman]

I've heard that you shouldn't put all your eggs in the same basket.

I like that there are more than one free open source software operating system.
If GNOME goes bad, I can goto KDE, if Linux goes bad I can goto BSD, etc.
