Actually, there's difference there as well if you depend on binary distributions. One of the things about BSD is that if you want it to work, you always build from sources and you just wait the couple of days for all of it to compile. In our case with KNOS, we left the trunk a couple of years ago because BSD is really a server OS and still isn't developed for desktop use. We had to write an awful lot of our own stuff.For us, the main good thing about BSD is that nothing "experimental" goes into the code. It is put through the wringer for a couple of years before it's accepted as stable and inserted. In our case, we needed to do desktops and thus were pretty much on our own. BSD won't accept our code back, although we have contributed a large number of fixes for the main tree which have been accepted. But they're really not interested in desktop-focused stuff. |
