systemd got you down?

BSD Unix has been running the Internet from day one and has never been better for desktop, server and NAS storage use. FreeBSD, FreeNAS, TrueOS and OpenBSD are all proven solutions with many features not available anywhere else: The unrivaled OpenZFS file system, the PF packet filter and the bhyve hypervisor. This talk will help you choose one or more BSDs for a number of roles, highlighting the strengths and limitations of each, all based on the presenter's 20 plus years of hands-on experience with them.
