schestowitz"I hope s/he misunderstands the FreeBSD plan on systemd. What developers have said is that they want something like it. That's pretty vague and I've also seen snide remarks about Pulseaudio (as 'Poettering-cruft' if I recall correctly) on the FreeBSD questions list."Jun 11 19:33

schestowitzI don't know about Mac OS. It's been roughly ten years since I even looked at it.Jun 11 19:33
schestowitzBut FreeBSD uses an old-style init, with scripts in /etc/rc.d and /usr/local/etc/rc.d . From the article, it seems like OpenBSD is probably similar (OpenBSD adopted FreeBSD's port system). And I'd be surprised if NetBSD is different, but I've never actually run it. (I did run OpenBSD for a while in roughly the timeframe I had some Mac OS X systems.Jun 11 19:33

schestowitzA few weeks ago I played around with OpenBSD. The removed the procFS in release 5.7 - that feels very strange at the beginning :D I didn't got very deep into it, because there was a problem, that I couldn't solve. I asked for it in the forums, but didn't got an answer. I installed it on an old ppc32 laptop and I planned not to work with graphical stuff on it, only on tty with tmux. And the the problem was at least only a visual problem : Jun 11 19:34
schestowitzevery ncurses line was displayed with questionmarks - it's quite ugly when you've got a tmux session there with splitted screen and some programs like mc, calcurse and every line of each program is displayed in rows of questionmarks instead of normal lines. At least it's possible to work with it and I'm not really into fancy graphics, but that was simply a bit too ugly for my taste and as the author of the linked article I gave it a try Jun 11 19:34
schestowitzwith gentoo :D Lots of new stuff again + apple hardware is simply different. When I installed it the 3rd time I could make it boot :D The automatically generated configuration file for yaboot was not correct and it took a little while until I understood what's the matter, but now it runs :)Jun 11 19:34

schestowitzI don't know about Mac OS. It's been roughly ten years since I even looked at it.Jun 11 18:33
schestowitzBut FreeBSD uses an old-style init, with scripts in /etc/rc.d and /usr/local/etc/rc.d . From the article, it seems like OpenBSD is probably similar (OpenBSD adopted FreeBSD's port system).

schestowitzA few weeks ago I played around with OpenBSD. The removed the procFS in release 5.7 - that feels very strange at the beginning :D I didn't got very deep into it, because there was a problem, that I couldn't solve. I asked for it in the forums, but didn't got an answer. I installed it on an old ppc32 laptop and I planned not to work with graphical stuff on it, only on tty with tmux. And the the problem was at least only a visual problem : Jun 11 18:34
schestowitzevery ncurses line was displayed with questionmarks - it's quite ugly when you've got a tmux session there with splitted screen and some programs like mc, calcurse and every line of each program is displayed in rows of questionmarks instead of normal lines. At least it's possible to work with it and I'm not really into fancy graphics, but that was simply a bit too ugly for my taste and as the author of the linked article I gave it a try Jun 11 18:34
schestowitzwith gentoo :D Lots of new stuff again + apple hardware is simply different.
