Anyone heard about ArchBSD?
« on: January 29, 2013, 11:42:13 am »
Hi everyone,

I was just casually browsing slashdot when I stumbled upon an article about ARCH-BSD a variant of Arch linux that uses the BSD kernel.

http://archbsd.net/

What is everyone's opinion of this and what do you think the draw backs or advantages will be?

I didn't want to use Twitter so bought myself a Megaphone and walked the streets - I now have 3 followers, but I think 2 of them are police officers

This was my thought. I have never had a great experience with BSD and I cant really see any advantage of using the BSD Kernel.

Maybe we are missing something..... but I doubt it.
