BSD is a Unix OS from a single source and great documentation. Linux is really a kernel with a ton of GPL code by various parties packaged by any of hundreds of different -flavored distros.
Both are pretty similar in practice with subtle differences. Think American vs British English...
BSD is often the choice for servers because of amazing reliability. Linux supports more hardware. maybe, and is easier to configure for desktop stuff, in my limited personal experience

@lqmb-duh yep, there is a wiki that uses Titan for edits. Don't have the link right now. the code is probably available as well.
@tooduskfordawn - I like the idea. I'd be interested in an alpha version. gemini capsule editing straight from a titan enabled page would be neat.
I should really add Titan upload support into my embeddable server Fornax...

@TooDuskForDawn : Linux is to BSD as HTTP is to Gemini ;)
I tend to agree with @stack that we can consider these like different dialects of the same language, but I've seen brutal disagreements between Linux and BSD enthusiasts. Personally, I use both, and consider them to be in practise equivalent. You'll have no difficulty getting a Gemini server for either.

An interest in hosting — I find myself drawn to pubnixes, but - I've said this before - I don't really feel drawn to the communities inside them. They all seem more tech-centric than I'm comfortable with. So, today, as I browse Gemini in search of a new way to host my capsule, I had a thought - why not make a gemini hosting service like a pubnix, but without the need for SSH or a web browser? Sort of similar to what Yestercities was. Well, a bit more than sort of. I guess I want what you'd get...
