Journal Geekboy(Wizard)'s Journal: BSD my TiBook

Stolen from one of my comments, here

I want to use [mplayer] It's (IMHO) the best media player out there. I like OpenBSD, but support for end-user stuff is limited (even more so than the arch problem). Free/OpenBSD ports system, just rules. I wish every OS can have it, it's SO easy, and is very intuitive. I have played a bit with netbsd, but it "feels" wrong. I suppose I just have to sit down and use it for a while. I wont run linux. I don't like the feel of it either. Nothing personal against linux developers/users, it's just not for me. I hate RedHat though, the worst distro I have tried. (Slackware, Debian, SuSE, RedHat) OS 9 is an improvement for media, but I've been so damn spoiled with a unix base, (and I left the Mac camp in 1994 to run unix, just a recent return) I won't (by choice) run a non-unix operating system.

I think I'll wipe my laptop this weekend, and try OpenBSD on it, and give NetBSD a shot. I'll even try the FreeBSD PPC port.
