Let’s Try BSD, Part 1 of 7: Introduction (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, DragonFlyBSD) - LowEndBox
lowendbox.com
In this series, I'll be trying out each of the four major BSD operating systems (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and DragonFlyBSD), including install, configuration, and web serving. We're paying a visit to the weird cousins from the other continent, and we'll have some fun exploring the OTHER free operating systems.

    But BSDs and Linux are very similar in design philosophy and are dependent on each other.

    Interesting. Would you mind elaborating on the bold parts? Thank you in advance :D !

      I think when it comes to tooling, some Linux tools are actually BSD software that works because of POSIX compliance. An example is OpenSSH.

      Sorry for my wording. What I meant was While BSD and Linux are not dependent on each other, they do share a common Unix heritage and have influenced each other over the years.

        That makes a lot more sense. Thank you for clarifying!
