I will also share my experiences with using IPv6, concerning both networks and applications.
Finally, I probably won't be able to resist the urge to offer opinions about what is going on (and not going on!) in the various BSD projects and comment on why I am still using FreeBSD for various applications and why I am moving away from it for others, especially for networking, where I recently have become more in favor of OpenBSD.
For now, you could take a look at my FreeBSD Glitches page, dealing with issues that I encountered with FreeBSD.
I have been working on Unix and especially BSD based systems for many years, from far before the source code escaped from Berkeley. I use FreeBSD as my main platform for about 30 years now, though professionally I also see a lot of Linux these days, for high-end HPC (a.k.a. supercomputing), but also for embedded applications.
After all those years I still enjoy using FreeBSD, both as a general purpose OS ("daily driver" as it is calles these days) and as a software development platform. I am able and willing to share most of my findings, hence this website.
For more information see my Minix-ST and Minix-ST Cross Development pages.
