    Well then, you don't know what you're talking about. They're only switching to Linux on their laptops (as their systems ran Linux already). Why would you use FreeBSD for work? It makes no sense, really.

    Well.. obviously _you_ have no idea what you are talking about. Rob said OpenBSD, not FreeBSD (and while related, they are not the same). If you are going to tell someone that they are a fool, then maybe you shouldn't look like a fool yourself. And what exactly is wrong with FreeBSD/OpenBSD/*BSD? Based on your obvious ignorance of BSD flavors, I doubt any answer you give would be creditable.

      Are you autistic or something? It was an obvious typo. He could've written XYZ instead of OpenBSD, the answer would be the same: they're not upgrading their servers or other systems that would actually warrant and benefit from BSD features, but only a dozen of laptops onboard the ISS. Hopefully you will understand that Debian is a much more natural choice for that.

        > Are you autistic or something? It was an obvious typo. No. And the only thing obvious here is that you're an egotistical jerk (to put it very nicely). Maybe you should stick to relevant comments instead of unprovoked personal insults geared to cover up your own insecurities and shortcomings.

          Thanks, you saved me the effort of replying. My point stands, they said they were updating for security reasons. OpenBSD has the best track record for security for any Unix platform. 2 remote holes in a heck of a long time. But I didn't expect an informed debate the instant he referred to FreeBSD, which is, while related, a different beast entirely.

            Are you trying to insult me or bore me to death? Whatever it is, you're not doing it right. Try sounding less like you've just taken some gender studies course and maybe people will actually take you seriously. Also don't bother responding or something like that, I'm off this site.
