@sblaydes @jaypatelani Nice!
BSD has always felt like home. I cut my teeth on Ultrix 4.2, ran NetBSD as my first home Unix, and had a Sun IPC running SunOS 4.1. I've never run BSDi but I appreciate its place in the family tree.
Started on the Uni Ultrix machine. Then got introduced to the NeXT cube lab. That was home for me. Got the lab for the GUI and could always ssh in (or was it telnet...uuuhh) from about. Oh, and the NeXT lab was run by an IRCop (A F Daniels). Flunked out of college due to the internet. IRC particularly.
Started an ISP using BSDi. Couldn't afford a BSDi license for home, so ran FreeBSD. Started #freebsdhelp on Efnet in late 99. We actually helped then...now it is...a waste.
Got word that the Secret Service was looking at some associates for piracy. Ditched my last WinNT4 install due to that and went straight freebsd.
At one point I owned a mono slab NeXTstation. I was proud of that.
