The person suggesting FreeBSD is a FreeBSD developer (Colin Percival - actually according to Wikipedia FreeBSD engineering lead), would be weird for him to suggest openbsd.

  • Also hilarious to see Drew Houston responding a bit later on the same thread:

    > we're in a similar space -- http://www.getdropbox.com (and part of the yc summer 07 program) basically, sync and backup done right (but for windows and os x). i had the same frustrations as you with existing solutions.

    > let me know if it's something you're interested in, or if you want to chat about it sometime.

  • It may well have been your point, but that it's the exact same person makes this even better
