Been running Linux servers for years. FreeBSD is what gave me back the passion to run servers.

It's such a well structured operating system. The documentation is just great and Jails are a really nice way to get lightly isolated environments to run different web services.

Thanks to all the people who make FreeBSD possible!

I hear you. TBH, most popular Linux distros feels very bloated nowadays. The other day I created a VM and there I installed FreeBSD for the first time. The process was really quick. It felt like a breath of fresh air. Much much simpler than what I had imagined. Everything felt very logical. I have thought about this before but since I already knew Linux I was hesitant to take the time to learn another Unix-like OS. But now I feel that I want to carve out some more free time to get more acquainted with FreeBSD. I’m quite sure it will pay off in the end.
