| | For some reasons, I decided to use FreeBSD on my laptop. Several times have I tried it in the last few years. Several times have I stopped after the first issue that I felt was sign of it not being built for me. This time, I'll go for at least a whole month of using it. So I can really decide if I keep using it ; or switch back to OpenBSD.
