I think from years of posting that FreeBSD is how Valeri's brain works best

best and are able to solve problems better than another system.
Like Valeri, I have a fondness for FreeBSD. Regardless, I think Nicolas is
correct. I remember reading a post in an old usenet (I think) discussion of
mutt vs. pine (before it became alpine) where someone said words to the
effect of, People pull up all sorts of technical reasons to justify
what is, in the end, an emotional decision.
I learned one truth working for many years for scientists: the best
thing is what works best for _YOU_, with which YOU are most efficient.
I do keep bringing up FreeBSD, as I conscientiously switched servers to
it. And during first maybe year I was catching myself with "Linuxisms"
on FreeBSD. Later I often caught myself with "FreeBSD-isms" on Linux.
But if your future road is long, then at the pivoting point it really is
good to step up above everything and estimate (with open mind) what
might be beneficial in your future. That is why I bring up non-Linux
system I know (more or less). Were I knowing others as well (OpenBSD,
NetBSD, ...) I would be mentioning them too.
And all that in a hope it may help someone (and with understanding it
may annoy many).
