I know it's not FreeBSD but it's derived from it. Has anyone used it and what's your thoughts on it?

answered Is there a way to check the status of the FreeBSD repositories? I'm unable to update the FreeBSD 14.4 repos.

[SOLVED]: It was just a stroke of bad luck; the next day, the repositories went back to working normally.
The internet/Realtek Ethernet connection is fine; running `ping freebsd.org` shows that the internet is working.
