Aeronetworks sro - Airborne Linux

The eternal question : Which is better - EMACS or Vi? OK, this post is actually about the other eternal question! As I use Linux, Mac, Open and Free BSD (Yes, and that other ball of wax too...), I think I can answer objectively: Both OpenBSD and FreeBSD are reasonably easy to download, install and run on pretty much anything. At least, I have not found a server/desktop/laptop computer that it would not run on.  I even ran OpenBSD on a Sparc Station - remember those? OpenBSD Theo De Raadt has a ' cut the nonsense ' mentality so OpenBSD is simpler, with a smaller repository of programs, about 30,000 packages. However, with a little effort, you can install FreeBSD software on OpenBSD to get the rest. After a few days of use, you will know how. The best OpenBSD book is Absolute OpenBSD: UNIX for the Practical Paranoid. In general, OpenBSD feels a lot like Slackware Linux: Simple and very fast. FreeBSD FreeBSD can also with some effort, run Linux programs

The cryptic official gstreamer compile guide is here: https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/frequently-asked-questions/git.html# As usual, the best way to do development work is on a virtual machine, so that you don't mess up your host.  I use Oracle Virtualbox on a Macbook Pro.  I downloaded Ubuntu Linux 18.04 LTS Server, made a 64 bit Virtualbox machine and installed the XFCE desktop, to get a light weight system that runs smoothly in a virtual environment. The problem with the cryptic official guide is that it probably works on the mach
