When I read these "FreeBSD vs Linux" flamewars, I get the impression, that the BSD enthusiasts also want the acknowledgement and popularity Linux has. I.e. they seem to want that many others 'type the command' FREEBSD! At least I do!!! Frankly, I'm a bit envious of all these Linux books and journal(s). And I would prefer if Caldera for instance would be *BSD-based. And for the documentation: I bought the 'five-pack' 4.4 BSD and I spent about 200$ for them...It seems to me a strange relation between a free OS and a 200$ documentation, that is besides for a at least earlier release of the OS... So for short: I think a bit more PR would be suitable for that fine OS :) - Matthias
