It really is amazing how much success Linux has achieved given its relatively haphazard nature.

FreeBSD always has been, and always will be, my favorite OS.

It is so much more coherent and considered, as the post author points out. It is cohesive; whole.

That was my impression from diving into The Design & Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System. I really need to devote time to running it long term.

That haphazard nature is probably part of the reason for its success, since it allowed for many alternative ways of doing things being experimented in parallel.

Linux has turned haphazardry into a strength. This is impressive.

I prefer FreeBSD.
