Comments like this make me hold on to Linux, even though I have not tried FreeBSD. I am perfectly aware of the code that is borrowed from Linux to BSD and vice versa. I think Linux and *BSD looks very much the same. And when reading these kinds of arguments from the BSD-fans, makes me pretty sure that FreeBSD isn't worth switching to (of course, I hear a lot of Linux people with these kinds of arguments, but I'm already running Linux). Also, I think the *BSD people have more internal fights, otherwise we wouldn't have *three* (at least) BSD derived freeware OS'es. It's free vs. commercial and nothing else ... :) If anybody wants to comment on this I'd respond to email. I actually followed the thread to here because I thought it was serious. // Jonas <job@abc.se> [2:201/262.37]
