Here at Ohio State University, I rarely hear anything about BSD, but you
constantly hear about Linux. It is a shame that there is so much duplication
of effort in the BSD camp. I can understand the ego issue, but around here
at least, Linux increasingly appears to be the defacto Un*x standard.

I am currently running neither, by the way. I'm waiting until I can afford
a larger hard drive.
