I don't want to dampen anyones BSD spirits. I hope you are all successful using BSD, meet a hot BSD woman, and have little BSD babies.

A lot of people really love BSD ( I personally don't) but if you're looking to setup a server and you've already got a BSD box online for say webhosting it'd be easy to add that to the mix.

I love BSD. It is an awesome Unix distribution. But, that's the boat I was in and I found it much easier to move everything to a Ubuntu install than to get eqemu to work on BSD. I'd be interested in what Fathernitwit has to say about it. When I was trying to install on BSD and hit the threading wall, my research told me I had to adjust how threading was handled system-wide. Well, most of the processes I needed were installed and reliant on the threading I was currently using. So I not only would have to change threading for eqemu, but then go throughout my entire server and reconfigure every daemon using threads. It's like I had to linux-ify my unix box. I just don't get it. To avoid this, it only makes sense to use BSD if you are only running eqemu. But if you are only doing eqemu, why not use linux like it was designed for.
I guess I'm beating a dead horse, sorry guys. I just want to understand why people would do BSD + eqemu.
