I agree. I've never understood why there is such aggressive
"competition" between Linux and *BSD, after all both are free OS's so
neither has any real financial gain to be made (except for the
distributors of course) by having a bigger market share.
I've come to the conclusion that it's stubborn pride on the part of
(some of) those main players in the projects.
Promoting (& encouraging) a friendly relationship would be a Good
Thing(tm), IMHO of course.
