It was the fun days of using a VPS to reinstall pretty much anything at any time with just 10 minutes or less. At the end, I settled with Slackware before moving on to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.serverbeach.com\" target=\"_blank\">ServerBeach<\/a> for a dedicated server running <a href=\"http:\/\/www.debian.org\" target=\"_blank\">Debian<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>All is well with Linux, but then my cousin, <a href=\"http:\/\/fourplay.blogs.friendster.com\/my_blog\/\" target=\"_blank\">Alex<\/a>, started planting ideas about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freebsd.org\" target=\"_blank\">FreeBSD<\/a> in my head (how it&#8217;s even closer to a true Unix system and that some of the most popular sites are powered by FreeBSD). At my last job interview with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vvisions.com\" target=\"_blank\">Vicarious Visions<\/a>, I learned that a lot of their servers are also running on FreeBSD, and plus Mac OSX&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.opendarwin.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Darwin<\/a> is based on FreeBSD anyway, I thought it&#8217;d worth my time to look into it.<\/p>\n<p>Ever since I lost my job in January, I have had some time in my hands to educate myself on some stuff. But I feel like no matter how much I teach myself, the knowledge is not quite as valuable as if it was applied to realproblems in the field. Hopefully whatever I learned from FreeBSD will help me land my next job, whatever that may be.<\/p>\n<p>I did a quick and dirty install (easier than Slackware, not quite near Fedora&#8217;s ease of use though).
