BSD networking code has been ported to many environments, its been around
for a long time and a subject of many papers. Linux code doesn't have this
exposure. Does anybody know how many servers are powered by Linux vs BSD
boxes (FreeBSD, NetBSD, Sun, AIX, etc)? 
I use both FreeBSD/Linux, in some cases on the same box...
