in reply to Perl hacker’s tools of trade or hardware of choice..

My home "workstation" system is a crufty old RedHat install, which I'm going to clobber and replace with FreeBSD once I've archived all the porn important data. My work box is a crufty old NT4 install, which I'd love to clobber and replace with FreeBSD, but that would make it difficult to develop for NT4.

The servers I deal with are all FreeBSD (this includes shub-niggurath, the box under my desk at home, but excludes my friend's OpenBSD box, which sits on my pipe). I'm really quite taken with FreeBSD (having approached it as a committed Linux bigot, I think this has something to do with the zeal of the recently converted). I don't have any jarringly good reasons; I just seem to fit better with the BSD tools, layout, and general philosophy than with the SysV/GNU way of doing things.
