(And you will notice little > digs anytime you compare anything to NetBSD) I didn't say anything of the kind, Nate. Read it all again... (and by the way, your posting didn't attribute correctly) The point I tried to make was that people who make comparisons between NetBSD and FreeBSD are just stirring the fires. Andrew Moore's original posting is quite similar to the ``Which is better? XXXBSD or Linux?'' postings we see periodically. This not a dig against Andrew, since I know he didn't mean any harm. Perhaps though, Nate could in the future sit back and realize how futile it is for inside developers to compare in this way.
