A client of mine has office routers running pfSense, which is based on 
FreeBSD. I find some oddities, compared to Linux. For example, the “route” 
command (for maintaining the routing table) has no option to list the 
contents of the routing table: instead, you have to use an entirely 
different command, “netstat -r”, for that.

There was a time when the BSDs had a much superior network stack to Linux. 
Those days are gone.

And by the way, the BSD world is working on its own systemd-lookalike, 
too. It’s called “InitWare”.
