Why should they be? Have you counted the number of different
`distributions' of Linux lately? From the user's viewpoint, BSD is
actually much more coherent, because you don't have the nearly the
user space differences between the Net/Free/Open/whateverBSDs that
you do between the different Linux distributions. They can't even
agree on a common directory hierarchy.
