Pop quiz: why do you need the dash with su?

That was in the original article.

And I quoted you without quoting you..... see what I did there, I switched a few words 😛

For home laptop use (non-gaming) be sure to check out PC-BSD. It's screaming fast, super stable and very responsive.

In this particular article it was a solid, but not fastest, performer in the transcoding benchmarks they ran, which were about as close to web serfing and video watching. PC-BSD is the fastest bar none if you're compiling software or iops intensive workloads.

It's just that Windows Phone and Windows RT have merged and that's where that codebase has gone. It's real Windows now, from my understanding.

Haven't used BSD since my days at Data General. DG/UX was a hybrid, BSD for the file system (faster and more robust), networking used streams from ATT Sys V. I have now dated myself.
